NEWNAME: Specifying a New Data Set Name for the Recovered Data Set

Explanation: NEWNAME(newdsname) is an optional parameter specifying a new, fully-qualified data set name for the recovered backup version or dump copy. For newdsname, specify a new, fully-qualified data set name for the recovered data set. The originally-named data set will be preserved for analysis or other purposes.

If a cataloged data set exists with the same name as the new name you are specifying, you must specify the REPLACE parameter to replace the existing cataloged data set.

Note:
  1. The NEWNAME parameter applies only to data set recovery. If you specify NEWNAME when it does not apply, DFSMShsm ignores it.
  2. You must specify NEWNAME when a data set exists with the same data set name as the data set that you are recovering, and you want to keep both versions of the data set.
  3. A GDG base cannot be recovered using fast replication data set recovery. If you specify the NEWNAME keyword when you recover a generation data set (GDS) to a new name, the new GDG base name must have already been defined.

Defaults: None.
