Issue/Introduction

Need to RESTORE JOB for an OMVS DSN. 
The DSN lives on a volume that is not covered by Full Volume FDR backups, therefore the volume is backed up by DISK. Is there a job that can query the database to list the options for recovery of my DSN?

Resolution

OMVS data sets can be processed by Disk if Sysparm USEDSSIO is specified with ZFS to process the OMVS [also known as ZFS] data sets.
Or, " * " would allow this Sysparm to process all the available DSTYPES that this Sysparm supports:
HFS,LDS,PDSE,HWCOMPR,ZFS,PV2,ENCRYP
  
To see if Disk did process the data set in question, run a LISTD.
//STEP1  EXEC LISTD
//SYSIN  DD *
LISTD DSN=xxx.xxx,DUPLICATES
  
If the data set was backed up or archived by Disk, then a normal RESTORE gets it back.
