the output from todsn will tell me the number of bytes transferred. It does not tell me the output volume serial number(s). Of course, I can use another utility immediately afterwards, catsearch, to find the first output volume and use it for the CA-1 control cards, allowing TMSUPDTE to "run the chain".
