MGMTCLAS specifies the user-desired management class that replaces the source management class as input to the ACS routines. You must have the proper RACF® authority for the management class specified. The keyword itself does not require RACF authorization.

NULLMGMTCLAS/NMC specifies that the input to the ACS routines is a null management class rather than the source data set’s management class.

MGMTCLAS and NULLMGMTCLAS are mutually exclusive; you cannot specify these keywords together.

Note:

All SMS-managed data sets specified in the BYPASSACS keyword are assigned the specified management class because the ACS routines are not invoked. Non-SMS-managed data sets do not have a management class.
See Assignment of class names by using the RESTORE and COPY commands for information about the assignment of class names using the copy function.
If DFSMSdss physical data set copy is used to copy the parts of a multivolume data set, the BYPASSACS(dsn) keyword is specified, and a different management class is specified on the MGMTCLAS keyword on each invocation of DFSMSdss, the user will be unable to recatalog the multivolume data set because of the mismatching management classes of the pieces. DFSMSdss is unable to determine at the time of copying a part of the data set, whether or not the management class specified conflicts with one specified on a previous invocation of DFSMSdss. If the BYPASSACS(dsn) keyword is not specified, the correct management class should be chosen by the ACS routines.
