So what you are seeing are Candidate Volumes. So probably your DataClass has the setup to have at least 3 volumes. I would need to look this up, but my guess is either a VOLCOUNT or DYNACOUNT type parm in the ISMF panels.

On a client machine I've got a whole lot of datasets (1 - 500 tracks). Each VOLSER shows up in ISPF 3.4 with a + sign after it. If I drill down I eventually get to All allocated volumes: More: + Number of volumes allocated: 3 CCXZ08 * * What is ISPF trying to tell me? Every single dataset is like this -- even small ones (1 track). It's more than an academic question because ISPF will not let me do a RLSE (F) on the larger datasets. I get the error The data set that this command has been issued against is a multivolume data set. The command is invalid for multivolume data sets. What is going on? Thanks for educating me.
