Restore a non SMS extended addressable LDS to an SMS managed Volume

Per error message in the log:

Issue :0ADR971E (001)-FDSRL(04), LOGICAL RESTORE FOR CLUSTER ISV.JAVA.V11.OMVS.JAVAROOT IN CATALOG ICFCAT.SHR.ISV FAILED, 8

Error: The source data set is a NONSMS extended addressable VSAM LDS and the target data set could not be allocated as a NONSMS extended addressable VSAM LDS. If the source is a NONSMS extended addressable VSAM LDS, then the target must be a NONSMS extended addressable VSAM LDS.

Idea description: This modification in the current architecture will definitely help system programmers to create the restored datasets as SMS Managed which will help in achieving performance goals and data availability requirements, and automate data backup.

I don't see any benefit of  restoring NONSMS dataset on NON SMS volume only. Enhancement in the existing architecture will be considered helpful to make environment better. And there is no drawbacks of this enhancement.
