Volume lists allow a single Save and Restore operation to use many
pieces of optical media to complete the requested operation.
Information relating to optical volumes that are a part of a save and restore
volume list may be displayed using the display optical (DSPOPT) command.
Volume list information fields:
- Continued from Previous Volume flag
- This field applies only to UDF media.
- This flag indicates the save and restore file is continued from the previous
volume in the volume list.
- Only one file on a given volume can have this flag set on.
- Use the DSPOPT DATA(*FILATR) command to display this flag.
- Continued on Next Volume flag
- This field applies only to UDF media.
- This flag indicates the save and restore file is continued to the next
volume in the volume list.
- Only one file on a given volume can have this flag set on.
- Use the DSPOPT DATA(*FILATR) command to display this flag.
- IPL Capable flag
- This flag indicates that the save system (SAVSYS) command created this
volume and that you can use it for D-Mode IPL.
- Use the DSPOPT DATA(*VOLATR) command to display this flag.
- Last Volume in Volume List flag
- This flag indicates that the volume is the final volume in a volume list.
- For HPOFS format volumes, the system does not allow save files that are
unrelated to the volume list on the final volume. The remaining capacity does
not affect this situation. UDF volumes do allow unrelated save files on the
volume if sufficient free space exists.
- Use the DSPOPT DATA(*VOLATR) command to display this flag.
- Starting Volume ID field
- The Volume ID of the first volume in a multiple volume set in a volume
list is located in the starting volume ID field. For UDF format
volumes, the volume list might contain several different save files. Consequently,
this field does not specify the starting volume of any given file that is
contained in the set.
- Use the DSPOPT DATA(*VOLATR) or DATA(*FILATR) command to display this
flag.
