SHARE specifies that DFSMSdss is to share, for read access with other programs, the data sets that are to be restored. The resetting of the data set change indicator is bypassed if SHARE is specified on a data set restore operation.

SHARE and FULL are mutually exclusive; you cannot specify these keywords together.

The SHARE keyword is not honored for VSAM data sets. Exclusive control is obtained for VSAM data sets even if the SHARE keyword is specified. Neither read access nor write access by other programs is allowed while the VSAM data set is being restored, regardless of the share options defined for the data set.
