Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for Virtual Storage Access (VSAM) Volume Data Set (VVDS) recovery. A store module stores a data set name and data set characteristics for a data set in a recovery table when the data set is defined under a Z/OS® operating system. The recovery table indexed by the data set name. A retrieve module retrieves a Z/OS® Volume Table of Contents (VTOC) entry indexed by the data set name. In addition, the retrieve module retrieves the data set characteristics from the recovery table using the data set name. A recover module combines the data set characteristics and the VTOC entry to recover a Z/OS® VVDS entry.
