Do you have access to the DFSMSdss Storage Administration manual? The
following is example 5 from the manual, which shows how to do a logical restore
with rename of a VSAM dataset. I would make a minor change, changing RENAME to
RENUNC, but otherwise the example looks like a good one to start with.

A VSAM key-sequenced data set, PARTS.VSAM1, is restored from a logical dump
tape in this example. It is renamed as PARTS.VSAM2 and cataloged in the
standard order of search. The cluster's components, PARTS.VSAM1.DATA and
PARTS.VSAM1.INDEX, are also renamed.

Buddy, i have done non VSAM restorations, but i am unaware of VSAM
restoration. I need to know the procedure for how to restore a VSAM dataset
which is the logical one, So kindly provide it.
