DISP

The DISP parameter dynamically allocates the RESTORE file and allows you to determine file access during the export.

Note: At this level, DISP is a local parameter. It applies for a specific group of clusters. Specify DISP at the global level to apply for the entire RESTORE. For more information about DISP as a global parameter, see RESTORE Optional Parameters.
