No.
VOL=(,,,8) means 8 volumes. It can be disk or tape.
For disk it will be 8 volumes, no more. For tape it will be up to 20 volumes (5+15).

BTW: life could be easier: temp datasets can be SMS-managed, no problems with volume use attributes, no need for UNIT, automatic VIO selection...

Correct me if I am wrong your vol parm isn't that exclusive to tape volume

Is there some secret to multi-volume allocations that I don't know?

Basically, this JCL:

//SORTOUT DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(,PASS),
// UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=(,,,8),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1000,1000),RLSE),
// DCB=(LRECL=149,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB)

is B37-04 ing after filling up only the first volume. (I need to write about 6000 Cyls.)
Any thoughts? I do not want to hard-code vol-ser's.

Thanks.
