Peter wrote: --------------------- A question for the ADRDSSU cognoscenti: Can the AIX and PATH of a VSAM KSDS can be restored by ADRDSSU after being backed up like this: DUMP OUTDD(DASDOUT) - DS (INCL(HLQ1.HLQ2.**)) - COMPRESS - OPT(3) - SPHERE - TOL(ENQF) - WAIT(2,7) snip... We restore the base file with this command: RESTORE DS(INCLUDE(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE)) - INDD(DUMPIN) - REPLACEUNCONDITIONAL - SPHERE Should the SPHERE option on the RESTORE also restore the AIX and PATH or do they need their own RESTORE command(s)? If so, what would the syntax of such a RESTORE command look like? TIA for any info or RTFM or other assistance you can provide. Peter ------------------------- Peter, With DFSMSdss, you can restore an entire VSAM sphere (base cluster and all associated alternate index clusters and paths). The SPHERE keyword is the game player. Ciao.
