VOLSEQNO — Multivolume data set Volume Sequence Number

For all processing of non-VSAM data sets, and reporting on VSAM components with SCAN REALVOLS, REPORT COMPONENTS, the value of VOLSEQNO is set to the value of the DS1VOLSQ field in the Format-1 DSCB for each data set or component.

For example, SELECT CRITERIA=(VOLSEQNO,GT,1) selects all non-first portions of multivolume data sets.

For all other processing of VSAM clusters cataloged in ICF catalogs, the value of VOLSEQNO is set to the DS1VOLSQ field in the Format-1 DSCB for the first data component of each cluster. For VSAM clusters cataloged in non-ICF catalogs, this field is set to 1.
