I occasionally restore using ADRDSSU and rename the restored dataset to my HLQ 
- so that I can have an older version of a dataset to compare to the current 
dataset. By  default (it appears) - the restore process will put the 
restored/renamed dataset on the same DASD volume as from which it was 
originally backed up (which is fine with me )
However - at times I need this dataset to remain for days or even weeks - the 
job that does the weekly backup of this DASD VOLUME does not have authority to 
read/backup any datasets with my HLQ (nor should it) - thus the backup abends 
and I get yelled at

Yes - I could remember to force the restored dataset to another DASD volume 
-but - my real question (and preferred solution ) is - is there an option to 
tell ADSDRRU "if I do not have authority to backup  any dataset - don't try" 
??( I did attempt to read z/OS V1R11.0 DFSMSdss Storage Administration) but did 
not find any help there - so either I cannot read IBM-ese or my hoped-for 
solution does not exist - thanks for any suggestions

You only need to test the programs you don't want to get called on later
