It's actually VOLUME COUNT in the DATACLAS definition. From the (1.12) HELP
panel:
Use the VOLUME COUNT field to specify the maximum number of volumes you
expect to use to store a data set in this Data Class.
For example, to reserve five volumes per data set, specify:
Volume Count . . . . . . 5 (1 to 255 or blank)
<end snip>
Very well ... it still doesn't behave like what was said on this thread (that
unused primary extents would not be allocated at all).
One primary extent for each volume in the volume count is allocated at
allocation time (before ever writing the file).
Then, at close time, RLSE will purge unused space on the last USED extent (the
one active at close time) but not on possible further (unused) extents.
