The top section of the Data Set Information – VSAM ESDS screen contains the DSN of the cluster and data components of the ESDS VSAM file. To the right of the DSN of the data component is the volume serial of the first volume. If the data component has multiple volumes defined, the volume serial is followed by a plus sign (+).
