TMC Inquiry by Volume Serial Number

This type of inquiry is used when the volume serial number is known but the data set on the volume is not, or when the data set is not cataloged. Enter the following command:

System Console

Non-System Console

nn,'076777'

076777

If the volume requested is the first volume of a multivolume data set, the volume information is displayed and the following prompt is issued:

System Console

Non-System Console

ENTER V TO REVIEW MULTIPLE VOLUMES

ENTER V TO REVIEW MULTIPLE VOLUMES

nn IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

If the volume requested contains multiple files, the volume information is displayed and the following prompt is issued:

System Console

Non-System Console

ENTER F TO REVIEW MULTIPLE FILES

ENTER F TO REVIEW MULTIPLE FILES

nn IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

A response of V to the multivolume prompt provides a list of volumes associated with the data set, while a response of F to the multiple file prompt displays a list of the DSNBs associated with the other files on the volume.

The keyword LONG requested on a volume display (volser,LONG) causes a general display of each volume in the group if the volume serial requested is the first in a set, and then a display of all associated DSNB records. Up to 60 lines of information can be processed in a single request. When the number of lines in the display exceeds this limit, the following prompt is issued:

System Console

Non-System Console

ENTER P TO CONTINUE OR NEXT REQUEST

ENTER P TO CONTINUE OR NEXT REQUEST

nn IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

A response of P to the prompt continues the display.
