Not why I asked. Just wondering why you think you need to specify those. Can you post the JCL in its entirety used to create the backups?
Looking at the tape label you posted separately, I cannot decipher all the fields definitively without the headers, but I see RECFM=U, I just don’t know what the next numbers are. Also, what specific type of tape device are you using? >> L.SMFLGB.G0303V00 19.287 99.000 U 25458 200 >> P 1274 1274 SYSFBK1W/BACKUP But one of my DSS VOLUME dumps looks like this VOLSER = E55759 ACTVOL= SMSMC= BLANKS DSN = TPE.TDP.xxxxxxxx.DLB01A.D191022 DSN17= 58.DLB01A.D191022 EXPDT = CATALOG ACCT= BLANKS FLAG1 = 41 FLAG2 = C0 FLAG3 = 00 BATCHID= 00 = FLAG4 = 08 FLAG5 = 00 FLAG6 = 00 HOOKID = FD = SMF 83 EDMID = WMC = 00000 WWID = - - CDATE = 2019/295 CJOB = xxxxxxxx CTIME = 0855 CPGM = ADRDSSU LDATE = 2019/295 LJOB = xxxxxxxx LTIME = 0855 LPGM = ADRDSSU CSTEP = VOLDUMP CDDNAME= TAPE2 CUNIT = 20CE LUNIT = 20CE OUTDATE= ZEROS OUTCODE= SLOT = 0000000 TRERRC = 00000 BTHDATE= 2007/125 VENDOR = BLANKS COUNT = 00264 TWERRC = 00000 DATECLN= ZEROS USECLN = 00000 CLNCNT = 000 TRERRI = 00000 VOLSEQ = 0001 ROBTY = VIBM ROBID = 001 TWERRI = 00000 1STVOL = NEXTVOL= PREVVOL= PRERRC = 00000 NUMDSNB= 00000 1STDSNB= 00000000 LSTDSNB= 00000000 PWERRC = 00000 LABEL = SL DEN = 38KC TRTCH = 36X2 PRERRI = 00000 RECFM = U LRECL = 000000 BLKSIZE= 262144 PWERRI = 00000 AUDATE = 2019/295 AUTIME = 0858 BESKEY = 00000 BLKCNT = 0000052020 AUCODE = 02 AUFLAG1= 00 CPUID = TEC1 USERID = CATALOG VOLPERC= 001 FILPERC= 001 COMPRES= 043 BYTEPRC= 080 CTLGCNT= 001 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma AVP | Manager, Systems Engineering Fifth Third Bank | 1830 East Paris Ave, SE | MD RSCB2H | Grand Rapids, MI 49546 616.653.8429 | fax: 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Nai, Dean Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2019 11:16 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: DFDSS backup retore **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** Hi Dave, Tried both.
