It seems context is a player in the semantics portion of the topic. The request is for the type of LIST. 1) You can create a list of volumes that are ONLINE. 2) You can create a list of volumes that are NOT ONLINE/OFFLINE. 3.a) You can create a list of volumes that are either ONLINE or NOT ONLINE/OFFLINE. 3.b) You can create a list of both ONLINE and NOT ONLINE/OFFLINE volumes.
I somewhat lean toward "NOT ONLINE" over OFFLINE for those PENDING states. Would UCBSCAN be useful for determining state? https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieaa400/ucbscan.htm On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 4:02 AM, Brian Fraser <[email protected]> wrote: > Am I > 1) at home > 2) at the office > 3) either > 4) both > > "both" would suggest that my home is my office..... > Oh wait.... it is :) > > But yes, I agree with Rex > > On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 6:01 AM, Bill Wilkie <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > The doc says online, offline and both earlier in the doc. > > > > Sent from my iPhone > > > > > On Apr 4, 2018, at 3:42 PM, Pommier, Rex <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > > Actually I think an English major would disagree with your > documentation > > assessment. 3-Either means if it is either online or offline, add it to > > the list, 3-Both says it has to be both online and offline to get > > included. :-) > > > > > > Rex > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > > On Behalf Of Bill Wilkie > > > Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2018 2:09 PM > > > To: [email protected] > > > Subject: [External] Getting a VOLSER for a disk that is a member of a > > copy pair > > > > > > I have a program that reads VOLSERS for offline volumes.
