TGTGDS: Overriding the SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS command

Explanation: TGTGDS(option) is used to override the specification of the SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS command. The TGTGDS parameter is passed to DFSMSdss and provides greater flexibility managing SMS-managed generation data sets that are being restored to level 0 DASD.

The valid values for option are as follows:
Option Explanation
DEFERRED TGTGDS(DEFERRED) specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the DEFERRED status.
ACTIVE TGTGDS(ACTIVE) specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the ACTIVE status, for example, rolled into the GDG base.
ROLLEDOFF TGTGDS(ROLLEDOFF) specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the ROLLEDOFF status.
SOURCE TGTGDS(SOURCE) specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the same status as that of the source data set.

Defaults: This parameter defaults to the setting specified on the SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS command. If SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS was not specified, then this parameter defaults to SOURCE.
