Thank you very much for informing me that COUNT(0) is available only
above z/OS V1.9.

A customer wants to use both volume and data set name VRS.
I don't know its detailed reason.  The customer just ask us how to
retain volumes by days.   They also use data set VRSs.
I guess that if a volume doesn't match data set VRSs, they want to
retain the volume by volume VRS.
