Looked in the MVS JCL User's Guide and found
Parallel Mounting
For some jobs, all requested volumes must be mounted before the data set can be
used. For these jobs, request as many units as volumes or request parallel
mounting by coding P in the UNIT parameter.

Now that I know about,I have used it and it works great.

//SYSLIST  DD SYSOUT=*
//DD01     DD DSN=NFCPBEAR.B5I.EHRI.HSCU.SF50T,DISP=SHR
//         DD DSN=NFCPBEAR.B5I.EHRI.HSCG.SF50T,DISP=SHR
//         DD DSN=NFCPBEAR.B5I.EHRI.DJIN.SF50T,DISP=SHR
//DD01O    DD DSN=NFCPPARA.B5I.EHRI.HS00.SF50.XMLT,
//         DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=(3390,P),DSNTYPE=LARGE,
//         DCB=(NFCP.PRODMODL,DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=200,BLKSIZE=0),
//         SPACE=(CYL,(4369,4369),RLSE),VOL=(,,,7)
//DD01RL   DD DSN=NFCP.PRODSPEC,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN    DD DSN=NFCP.PRODSPEC(FAEOPF02),DISP=SHR

I only needed for large multi-volume files.
