Restore a pre allocated file and change the mgmgtclas

During restore of a file, if i want to change the mgmtclas, i need to delete the file to have the wanted mgmtclas by sysin DSS job (keyword mgmtclas).

If the file already exist, i code REPLACE keyword but the mgmtclass is unchanged, MGMTCLAS remains at the value of the pre allocated file and not the MGMTCLAS request on DFDSS SYSIN.

Is it possible to have a parameter to ask to delete the prea llocated file prior to restore or change the mgmtclas ?

    You do have a couple of options:

    1. Do a DSS DUMP DELETE of the targets before the RESTORE.

    2. Do an IDCAMS ALTER of MGMTCLAS after the RESTORE
