For the most part the catalog lets you locate your dataset no matter
which volume you put it on.
For non-vsam, that is about all that is stored, dataset
characteristics are in the VTOC.
And with non-SMS volumes you can have uncataloged datasets on DASD or tape.
VSAM came from the Future Systems
depending on name5-length.

You should be recycling tapes with a low percent of active datasets.
This copies the remaining active datasets to a new tape then marking
this on as inactive. You can manually issue a recycle command against

Try adding the (+1) to the define, or .G0002V00 if that doesn't work.
And even if G0002V00 is created, it might not be part of the gdg. You

You then run ICKDSF to pick up the new size. If your VTOC size is
pretty small you may run out of VTOC entries if you have lots of small
