IDCAMS: ALTER <DSN NAME or DATA component> ADDVOL(* * * * * *)
Will add 6 volumes to an SMS-managed data set. If not SMS-managed, the volumes must be explicitly named. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Peter Sent: Monday, December 22, 2025 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Multi volume dataset copy CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the Texas Comptroller's email system.

There are no problems with any volume as I tested on all volumes by allocating a small dataset. The only problem I see it cannot beyond 6th volume . Like I said.. initially you will see the first volume as it continues to grow ..and automatically it spans over to second volume and so on. Until it spans from 1st volume to second you cannot see the dataset being available on second volume. Once the first volume reaches 100%, then automatically it grows to the second till 6th volume. So no problem with volume No duplicates All the volumes were empty prior running the idcams repro.(validated via ISPF 3.4) On Mon, 22 Dec 2025, 22:41 Jon Perryman, <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, 21 Dec 2025 15:49:40 -0600, Mike Schwab > <[email protected]> > wrote: > > >> IEC032I E37-08 , IFG0554P. > >VOLUME has a default count of 5. > > This isn't the OP's problem.
