Parameters for Non-VSAM Without DEFER

MEMBER=

A list of one or more member names or patterns to be restored from the archived data set can be specified. See parameters REPLACE, ERASE and SCRATCH also. A maximum of 25 entries is supported.

If you specify the MEMBER= parameter without the ERASE parameter, CA Disk will allow concurrent restore processing and ISPF editing of a PDS, using the same enqueue convention as that used by ISPF edit or the linkage editor. See ENQ/DEQ/Reserve Usage in the Systems Guide for more information.

Note: This parameter cannot be used with DEFER.

REPLACE

This optional parameter permits members in an existing PDS to be replaced by duplicate named members being restored. Default processing merges in only those members that do not have conflicting names.

Note: This parameter cannot be used with DEFER.

DIRBLKS=
(field1,field2)

This optional parameter permits the size of the directory to be adjusted. Field1 is a numeric value interpreted according to the value of field2. Field2 can be either PCT (for percent) or ABS (for absolute), and defaults to PCT if not specified.

(nn,PCT) causes the directory to be adjusted such that, as close as possible, the new directory will be nn percent full.

(nn,ABS) causes exactly nn directory blocks to be allocated, unless they are not enough to hold all of the entries. In this case, the minimum number that is sufficient will be used.

Note: This parameter is ignored when members are being merged into an existing PDS, and it cannot be used with the DEFER parameter.
