If you want all volume serial numbers use RDJFCB along with EXLST entry X'13' (EXARL in IHAEXLST) retrieve allocation information instead of entry X'07' (EXLRJFCB) and use IHAARL and IHAARA to map the ARL and ARA returned (the JFCB is in ARAJFCB).

I can get the first few volumes from RDJFCB as well, along with the DSN, and that's enough info to use OBTAIN (which I missed the first time around) to get the DSCB. Get the DSN from the RDJFCB. Then get the volsers from either the RDJFCB or the data returned via LOCATE. Plug each volser into the CAMLST that you use with OBTAIN, then do the OBTAIN to read the DSCB for each volume. Or use the volser from the RDJFCB data. The only difference is which source (LOCATE or RDJFCB) will give you the complete volser list, if either.
