The UCBVOLI field is deliberatly scrambled when the volume is placed offline.
The only way to get the offline volser is some sort of low-level EXCP to the device and read the DASD label - over to you, Bill Fairchild :-) Rob Scott Rocket Software, Inc 275 Grove Street Newton, MA 02466 617-614-2305 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: 09 July 2007 14:28 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: How can I give the volume unit address and return the volume name from REXX The only thoughts I have are these Is the volume available to the system you are running on? Is the volume online? If not, is there a way to see the volser when it is offline? A D U,VOL= only shows if the volume is online. Not if the volumes is there but offline. If Philippe's code can do that, it is the best way to go. Lizette > Hi Tommy, > > I made a simple assembler program some time ago that does exactly > what you want.
