CONDITION CODE IS 12 I checked the error code and it points out to the fact that "a VVDS already exists on the volume" I am not sure how that can happen because I initialized the volume (ICKDSF) and put it online and attempted to define the VVDS. Can it be because as soon as I put the volume online a VSAM file may have been allocated on that volume? If so, how can I avoid this problem in the future.
