Issue/Introduction

Before starting the restore, HiDRO verifies it can issue a #CP SPOOL command to the user requesting the file be restored to their RDR.  

When the user ID is in the Object Directory as NOLOG, the #CP SPOOL command fails with USERID IS NOT IN DIRECTORY.

 This causes a RESTORE to RDR for that NOLOG user to fail.

Resolution

Restore the file to another user's RDR or MDISK. Then copy it to the NOLOG user by accessing the disk R/W.
