If datasets with your HLQ need the protection you indicate, you should not be allowed to place them on the same volumes as datasets that don't. The fact that you can means you should take the extra care to see that you don't.
It should not be that big a deal. You have already added one of the RENAME operands to your RESTORE statement. On the same line, simply add an OUTDYNAM operand pointing to a pack where your datasets can reside without interfering with normal operations. Alternately, since the restored dataset was not yours originally, it really doesn't need the protection afforded by your HLQ. Rename it to something other than your HLQ that can reside safely on the original volume. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Chris Hoelscher Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 10:02 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: z/OS 1.11 question on DFDSS/ADRDSSU 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
