Consider and plan for the following situations before you decide to fall back from VSAM RLS processing:

• There might be outstanding recovery for VSAM RLS data sets. The fallback procedure results in the loss of locks protecting back out.
• RLS indicators in the catalog must be reset.
• There might be applications which can only function with VSAM RLS, and which cannot return to a VSAM NSR, LSR or global shared resources (GSR) environment.
