Required parameters

FROMDEV

Specifies the device type that the dump data set resides on. Eligible device names are 3400 and TAPE. When either 3400 or TAPE is specified, Stand-Alone Services attempts to determine the device type from the self-description information. If the device self-description information indicates a supported device type, Stand-Alone Services uses the returned device type for processing. When a device does not support self-description, Stand-Alone Services processes the device differently depending on whether 3400 or TAPE is specified. Abbreviations: FRMDEV and FRMDV.

3400: specifies device types 3420, 3422, and 3430. If the device type cannot be determined from the self-description information, Stand-Alone Services processes the device as a 3400-type device.
TAPE: specifies all other supported tape devices. If the device type cannot be determined from the self-description information, Stand-Alone Services processing ends.

FROMADDR

Specifies the address of the device that the dump data set resides on. You can specify a 3-digit or 4-digit address. Abbreviations: FRMADDR and FRMADR.

TOADDR

Specifies the address of the DASD target device to be restored. The device type must be the same as the device type of the volume originally dumped. You can specify a 3-digit or 4-digit address. Abbreviation: TOADR.

VERIFY (volser)

Specifies that the volume serial number that is currently on the DASD target volume must be verified before restoring the data. Specify either VERIFY or NOVERIFY, not both.

Initialize DASD volumes with a readable volume label and VTOC before restoration. Abbreviation: VFY.

NOVERIFY

Specifies that no action be taken to either verify the volume serial number, or to verify that any volume serial number exists. When NOVERIFY is specified, a prompting message is issued for the user to reply with permission to continue. Specify either VERIFY or NOVERIFY, not both. Abbreviations: NOVFY and NVFY.
