Take a look at the IDCAMS manual - for the ALTER statement

Why? RECOVERY or SPEED options is only considered during the initial loading (creation) of the data set. You specify RECIVERY or SPEED on the define command when you create and load the cluster. Look at the description of the SPEED|RECOVERY options for DEFINE CLUSTER in the 'DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs' manual.
