Arnold, Check out parameter Volcount in the DFDSS Reference.
Volcount(any) will set the vol count to 59. I'm assuming SMS volumes here. If you're restoring to non-sms you'll need to supply a volume list in OUTDDNAME or OUTDYNAM. Hope this helps, Dave O'Brien -----Original Message----- From: Teusch Arnold (BIL) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 8:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: DFSMSdss - Restoring Multivolume Data Sets Hello dear List Members, z/OS V1R7.0 DFSMSdss Storage Administration Guide says in chapter 8.1 on Restoring Multivolume Data Sets: "Multivolume data sets from a logical data set dump tape can be restored either to a single volume or to multiple volumes. When they are not preallocated and the specified output volumes are different from the input volumes, multivolume data sets are restored to a single volume, space permitting." Can anybody tell me what happens if the dataset is not preallocated and there is not enough space on a single volume ? Will the data set be restored to multiple volumes or will the restore process fail ? Thank you for help. N.B.: I would have looked up the topic in the archives, but I have not yet received my password registration message from the Listserver.
