Restore Space Allocation

When a data set is archived, the actual space used is calculated and recorded. At restore time, the space allocated is either the original size of the data set or the used space quantity whichever is larger. For example, a restore will not reduce the primary space quantity, but will adjust it up for data sets that have gone into extents. The primary quantity is adjusted appropriately for restoring to different device types.
