Issue/Introduction

When using CA Faver PGM=GVMOVCPY I am receiving a GV011 - MISSING RESTORE DESCRIPTION message. How do we resolve this? I am using the example in the CA Faver User Guide chapter 5 page 89.

Environment

z/OS

Resolution

The CA Faver User Guide chapter 5 page 89 is missing a single control statement which will cause the GV011 - MISSING RESTORE DESCRIPTION error condition. The job will also fail with a GV934 OUTPUT SUBTASK ERROR - RC=16.

The manual shows the following control statements:

 

//SYSIN DD *
COPY
  CLUSTER
      CL=HIGHLVL.FAVR.TESTCPY
  OUTPUT
      CL=HIGHLVL.FAVR.TESTCPY *AMS -

 

It should be the following:

 

//SYSIN DD *
COPY
  CLUSTER
     CL=HIGHLVL.FAVR.TESTCPY
  OUTPUT 

    CLUSTER                                                               -->> note this control statement is added here
     CL=HIGHLVL.FAVR.TESTCPY *AMS -
