RESTORE Password Command

If you are restoring non-VSAM data sets only, or if you do not use password protection of your VSAM clusters, you can omit this PASSWORD command.

If the catalog in which VSAM clusters are to be defined is update-protected, the catalog's master password must be supplied via this PASSWORD command. In addition, if the cluster being restored was password-protected and its current password does not match that which is on the archive medium, this command must be supplied with the proper password so that the scratch of the existing data set will not fail.

The PASSWORD command syntax is:

PASSWORD CATALOG=,MASTER=
CATALOG=

Specify the catalog name to which the clusters are being restored.

MASTER=

Specify the catalog's master-level password.
