Volume Selection Information: Volume Serial

Used to identify volume(s) that are to be processed by the VTOC utility. Type a list of 1 to 10 volumes or wildcarded volume specifications with either commas or spaces separating items in the list..

When typing a wildcarded Volume Serial, you can type an asterisk (*) to represent any number of characters with any value, and you can type a percent sign (%) to represent one character of any value.

Example:

CONV01 means volume 'CONV01'

CONV*,VOL001 means all volumes whose name begins with 'CONV' plus volume 'VOL001'
