No, and I just read it a few hours ago in an attempt to help
you. That DEFAULT behavior WAS NOT documented.

The subject DOC APAR closed today, 26 March.

I VIGOROUSLY RECOMMEND anybody who uses DFSMSdss full-volume or
track-range (aka "physical") DUMP / RESTORE for D/R, data movement, etc.
to READ AND UNDERSTAND this DOC APAR. You **ARE** at risk of losing
data or data integrity via DFSMSdss Full-volume or track-range (aka
"physical") DUMP / RESTORE if you have ANY OTHER PRODUCT that depends
upon the setting of the "change" bit in the Format-1 DSCB.

The DFSMSdss Level 2 rep also submitted Marketing Request #
MR0302074136, requesting that a "switch" (similar to the RESET keyword
on DUMP) be provided to allow the user to specify how DFSMSdss should
handle the "change" bit at RESTORE time. Those interested should add
their voices via appropriate channels.

SHARE members who have not done so, please vote on Requirement #
SSMVSS07002, which requests a design change to DFSMSdss' default
behavior on full-volume RESTORE.

    ... PATCH BYTE FOR DS1DSCHA / DS1IND20 ON FULL AND TRACKS RESTORE ... TRACKS RESTORE when DFSMSdss is not invoked via the API. ... This future enhancement would possibly include a change in default RESTORE behavior based on use of "RESET" in DUMP, with a new RESTORE option to allow for overriding default behavior. ... The crux of the problem is that the only practical way to make a physical copy of a volume with DFSMSdss for moving the volume or recovering it elsewhere is with "DUMP FULL" physical dump, and if this is recovered to another device with the obvious counterpart "RESTORE FULL", the result is currently not an identical volume, but a volume with all the VTOC "changed" bits on the volume reset. ...
