DFSMShsm doesn't have any documented way to do this, and I haven't found any undocumented patches either.
DFSMShsm also provides a NORESET option to not reset the DSCI when doing full-volume dumps. I suspect that this is common across all backup products for full-volume processing, so that data set backups can continue as normal regardless of the dump cycle. Not sure of your specific scenario, but look at SMS GUARANTEED BACKUP FREQUENCY. It drives periodic backups even if the DSCI is not set. It has some caveat's, but it's worth looking at if that is what you are trying to solve. While we always welcome RFEs, just want to say up front that unless there are many additional votes from other clients also requesting this type of enhancement, it's unlikely that a unique request like this will ever make it high enough in our backlog that it will get done.
