Resolution
IBM documents LARGE data sets as:
- Large format sequential data sets that can be single or multivolume, and can reside on SMS managed or non-SMS managed DASD.
- A large format sequential data set is specified using the DSNTYPE=LARGE keyword on a JCL DD statement or using the dynamic allocation equivalent.
To Restore a very large data set where it is desired to set "DSNTYPE=LARGE", preallocate the data set
[using IEFBR14] of the size you need and include the "DSNTYPE=LARGE" parameter in the JCL.
In the batch RESTORE job, specify the RESTORE command and be sure to include this Sysparm override
to allow the Restore when the target data set is pre-allocated.

Additional Information
DSNTYPE can be set by the ASRs in CA ALLOCATE when needed.
To allocate a large data set where the DSNTYPE is not wanted to be specified,
other options can be used such as SMS or an allocation control product [CA Allocate].
The intent would be to limit the size of the allocation to 4369 CYL or 65535 TRKs,
with a secondary quantity specified so the allocation can spill-over to another volume(s).
For using native CA Disk Restore processes, the setting of PRIALLOC should be left at default.
If the allocation fails, CA Disk will dynamically modify the allocation amounts, in this order,
and retry the allocation :
PRIALLOC
N (default) - Consolidate the space of all extents for allocation.
3 - Consolidate space of the first 3 extents (dynamically used if "N" fails).
Y - Use original allocation amounts (dynamically used if "3" fails).
