Control Statement Name

VOLDEF

initiates the VOLDEF command and control statement.

Parameters

DATASET or DSN

specifies the name of the data set containing the VOLATTR statements to be processed and, optionally, an OPTion TITLE statement. (Refer to “Volume Attribute (VOLATTR) Control Statement” on page 143 and “OPTion TITLE Control Statement” on page 113 for details on syntax and parameters).

Note: The definition data set may contain VOLATTR, UNITATTR, TAPEREQ, and OPTion TITLE statements.

•Only OPTion TITLE and VOLATTR statements are processed.

•If any other statement is encountered, an error message is issued and the statement is ignored.

dataset.name

is the name of the data set containing volume attribute parameters. If the data set name includes a member name, dataset.name must be enclosed in quotes. For example,

DATASET(‘YOUR.DSN(MEMBER)’)

VOLume

specifies the serial number of the DASD volume on which the data set resides. This parameter is optional. Specify the VOLume parameter if the data set is not cataloged, or if a data set on a volume other than the volume indicated by the catalog is to be used.

Note: The volume specified must be a DASD volume.

volser

specifies the volume serial number for the definition data set.
