Parameters for Non-VSAM Data Sets

POOL=

The name of the DASD pool to be used to find a volume on which to restore the data set. This is for non-VSAM data sets only (mutually exclusive with the VOL= parameter).

NOCATALOG

Suppress catalog action that would normally take place upon data set restoration.

RECATALOG

Default processing attempts to catalog all data sets, but will not change an existing catalog entry. Specify this parameter only when you want to force the data set to be cataloged to the target volume. See OFFLDASDn in the Systems Guide for instructions on how to do a delete noscratch for offline volumes.

SYSCTLG

Code this parameter if the RESTORE request is to be conditioned on the named data set being cataloged to the pseudo-volume (implying that the data set does not exist on DASD but only in the CA Disk archives).

PDSECONV

This optional parameter is required only when attempting to restore an archived PDSE to a PDS. When specifying this parameter, the value of SMSALLOC sysparm should be N and VOL= parameter specified.

During PDSE to PDS conversion, the number of directory blocks allocated will be as few as possible, based on the number of members in the source PDSE.
