SYSTEMPAGES
The SYSTEMPAGES option requires that image copies include header, dictionary, and system pages at the beginning of an image copy. The image copies are registered in SYSCOPY. The use of SYSTEMPAGES YES allows an UNLOAD utility to extract data from the image copy. It also facilitates recovery in cases where the recover utility needs SYSTEMPAGES to process versioned rows.
