PRESS ENTER TO CHECK-IN AN EXTERNAL VOLUME 11.45.02
When the screen is entered, the previously saved data (or no data, if the default has been modified) are displayed.
During installation, a prefix for external volumes can be defined (in parameter EXTRNVOL in member CTTPARM). This optionally defined prefix can be up to three characters in length (for example, EXT) and is automatically assigned to external volumes that are checked in.
If such a prefix is defined, when screen TC is entered, field VOLSER displays the first available volser beginning with the prefix (instead of the last saved volser) and field SL-NAME displays asterisks (instead of the last saved Standard Label Name). The user must replace the asterisks in field SL-NAME with the internal volume label (the SL-NAME).
