You are right Bruce, I meant the VTOC index. > The documentation on DUMPCONDITIONING is a little vague. It says that > the volume must have an active VTOCIX for DUMPCONDITIONING to work.

The VTOC index of my volume is active, but as I mentioned, its 3rd qualifier does not match the volser. I didn't ask the IBM support where or if this VTOCIX-VOLSER matching is explicitly documented, but this is the reason why my RESTORE job failed to provide the correct VOLSER. I flash 14 volumes every w-e, and this was the only volumes which failed. In all other cases, VTOCIX and volser match. Pure coincidence ?
