RECALL: Releasing recall and deletion

Explanation

RECALL is an optional parameter specifying whether DFSMShsm should release automatic recall, recall by command, and deletion of a migrated data set from all volumes, from all tape volumes, or recalls that need tapes and were submitted by a TSO user.

The parameters of the RECALL parameter are explained:
TAPE
Releases held recalls from tape volumes.
TSO
Releases held recalls that required tapes that were submitted by a TSO user.
DASD
Releases held recalls from DASD volumes only, while maintaining the hold on recalls from tape volumes.

Defaults

If you specify the RECALL parameter with any other parameters, then the default is to release all recall and data set deletion tasks from all volumes.

Usage notes:
  1. You cannot release the subfunction RECALL(TAPE(TSO)) if either the subfunction RECALL(TAPE) or the main function RECALL is held.
  2. You cannot release the subfunction RECALL(TAPE) if the main function RECALL is held.
  3. The RECALL(DASD) parameter does not follow the function-to-subfunction release relationship restriction described in the introduction topic RELEASE command: Releasing all or some DFSMShsm functions for processing. The HOLD RECALL status is converted to a HOLD RECALL(TAPE) -- allowing recall from DASD to continue. There is no corresponding HOLD RECALL(DASD) command.
