Bob:
Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt.
You are not taking into consideration that there are multiple types
of DASD displays (with a different format), like: 1) "free" DASD, 2)
DASD attached to a guest, and 3) DASD attached to a system. Your PIPE
will find ANY occurrence of the string in the results of the Q DASD"
command. For example, if I merely wanted volumes starting with "SY",
your locate would hit on the word SYSTEM in the result consisting of
"DASD 6743 CP SYSTEM UFC000 1087". That is NOT what is desired.
The only way I was able to do this was to issue multiple types of Q
DASD commands, format the output into files, and then use the locate
parameter to pull off the ones I was looking for. I believe I needed 3
or 4 pipes to accomplish this, but this was probably 15 years ago, so
perhaps there are now stages that would make this easier. But your
simple pipe will not produce the correct results.

Because the wildcard isn't accepted there.
Maybe a quick PIPE:
PIPE CP Q DASD ALL | split , | locate /L53/ | console
Unless you are only concerned with DASD attached to the system, then you
don't need the split or the ALL on the Q DASD.
