I still use MOUNT commands on my zPDT z/OS 3.1 system to bring new volumes online, in flight. It would be similarly used, I think, if new DASD was made available on any system. Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw

The mount command used the volser of the offline DASD volume as a parameter. Does anyone remember the format of the mount command? Does anyone have the documentation in .pdf format? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
