GDSs from level 0 DASD in the include list

Each generation data set (GDS) in the INCLUDE list that has been backed up from level 0 is recovered as a level 0 non-SMS-managed GDS with a status of ACTIVE if (1) ACS directs it to be recovered as not managed by SMS or if (2) SMS cannot manage the GDS because SMS is not active.

If the GDS is directed by ACS to be recovered as SMS-managed, it is recovered with the status specified by the SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS(option) command. The status can be specified as DEFERRED, ACTIVE, ROLLEDOFF, or SOURCE. SOURCE indicates that the SMS-managed data set being restored is to be assigned the same status it had when backed up. If the SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS command is not specified, the default is SOURCE.

If the ARECOVER command is issued with its optional TGTGDS(option) parameter, the value specified by the TGTGDS parameter overrides the value specified by the SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS command. The TGTGDS parameter, like the ARECOVERTGTGDS parameter, can be specified with the options of DEFERRED, ACTIVE, ROLLEDOFF, or SOURCE. Table 1 shows how level 0 GDSs are processed.
