RESTORE JCL Parameters

JOB

(Optional.) The JOB statement is a user-specified jobname.

RESTORE EXEC PGM

(Required.) EXEC PGM=GVRESTOR specifies GVRESTOR as the program name. Include PARM=DUMP to produce abend dumps, if necessary.

STEPLIB

(Optional.) STEPLIB DD specifies the data set name of the load library that contains the GVRESTOR program.

SYSPRINT

(Required.) SYSPRINT DD specifies the output message data set. RESTORE and COMPARE messages include the following:

Number of clusters restored or compared; or for empty clusters, defined.
Name of each cluster restored, compared, or defined. The message also includes the date and time the cluster was exported, and a record count.
All *AMS output when auto-define is used.
Number of records restored, deleted, modified, or inserted when a user exit is used.

SYSUDUMP

(Optional.) SYSUDUMP DD provides information dumps.

DSSMSGDD

(Optional.) Required when restoring datasets exported with SAVECOMP. No parameters are required.

INPUT

(Optional.) INPUT DD identifies the RESTORE input file. INPUT is the DDname coded on the FVRIN parameter of the RESTORE statement. The DDname FVRIN0 is the default.

FVRIN0

(Required for VSAM restore.) FVRIN0 DD specifies the default DDname if the FVRIN parameter is omitted from the RESTORE statement.

FVRDBRC

(Optional.) FVRDBRC DD identifies a QSAM file that receives recovery utility input when DBD and DDN are specified on a cluster name statement. The DCB parameters used are RECFM=FB, LRECL=80. BLKSIZE defaults to 80, but it is not specified in the DCB macro and may be set by the user.

TRENDS

(Optional.) TRENDS DD identifies the VSAM file used to collect information when the VSAMAID parameter is specified. This file must be defined and primed before it can collect information.

Note: For more information on defining the VSAM file, see the CA VSAMAID VSAM Tools User Guide.

bixlist

(Optional.) bixlist DD identifies the file that contains the names of the base clusters.

mctlist

(Optional.) mctlist DD identifies the QSAM file (built by CA MasterCat) that contains any cluster name statements.

SYSIN

(Required.) SYSIN DD specifies where data sets are read. You can specify the following with SYSIN:

Method	Explanation
*	Control statements follow.
DSN=data set	read.data set is the data set from which EXPORT control statements are read.
PDS member	The data set is read from a PDS file.
