VOL Control Statement

The VOL control statement identifies the TMC record to be updated. It is required when generating or purging DSNBs. If DSNBs are being generated, the VOL control statement is followed by DSNB data control statements. If DSNBs are being released, no DSNB data control statements are allowed between the VOL control statement and the next VOL or DEL control statement. The format for the VOL control statement is:

1   5
VOL nnnnnn[,PURGE]
