By default, all users can use the CC options. However, if RACF® indicates a lack of authority, DFSMShsm fails the data set backup request if concurrent copy is a requirement. If concurrent copy is not required and RACF indicates a lack of authority, DFSMShsm backs up the data set as if the concurrent copy keyword were not specified on the backup command.

You cannot use the CC option with the EXTENDRC parameter. EXTENDRC is an optional parameter that directs DFSMShsm to return an extended set of return and reason codes. These codes may not be completed until after physical completion of the backup. The HBACKDS command fails if you use both the CC and EXTENDRC keywords together.

If you use the CC option with LE or PE, you must also specify the option WAIT=YES.

The CC keyword applies to all data sets that result from filter resolution.
