JCL for Processing Queued Restore Requests

To dispose of the deferred restore requests — that is, to actually restore the data sets — the same JCL is used as for immediate restores, with the exception that the module executed is ADSDM279. (Since the input consists of the queued requests, no //SYSIN stream is needed.)

//jobname JOB (acct,info),etc.
//DISPOSE EXEC RESTORE,PARM.RESTORE=ADSDM279

The completion status for each request processed is maintained within the RESTCMDS subfile, indicating if the request is pending or complete and, if completes, the time of completion.

Note: The MFILES DD statement is not supported in dispose processing. If you have more than one FILES, you must execute DISPOSE separately for each one.
