DFSMSdss - Restoring Multivolume Data Sets



Hello dear List Members,

z/OS V1R7.0 DFSMSdss Storage Administration Guide says in chapter 8.1 on Restoring Multivolume Data Sets:

"Multivolume data sets from a logical data set dump tape can be restored either to a single volume or to multiple volumes. When they are not preallocated and the specified output volumes are different from the input volumes, multivolume data sets are restored to a single volume, space permitting."

Can anybody tell me what happens if the dataset is not preallocated and there is not enough space on a single volume ? Will the data set be restored to multiple volumes or will the restore process fail ?

Thank you for help.

N.B.: I would have looked up the topic in the archives, but I have not yet received my password registration message from the Listserver.
