(RavenTek) [mailto:lionel.d...@va.gov] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2018 10:01 AM Subject: Connect:Direct and VOL=REF ? After pouring thru the connect:direct pubs and finding that REF= is support, I've not been able to find the correct syntax to do a VOL=REF=dsn within a Connect:Direct Proc on the TO parameters. Can anyone offer any suggestions/advice/direction? The documented syntax is: VOL = ( [PRIVATE],[RETAIN] ,[volume-sequence-no] ,[volume-count] ,[SER = (serial-no[,serial-no,...] ) ] ) | ( [SER = (serial-no, [serial-no,...] ) | REF = dsn]) We've tried: Vol=ref=dsn Vol=(ref=dsn) Vol=ser=(ref=dsn) ================================================================= This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
