Procedure

Determine what caused the message by examining the record for the volume mentioned in the message (PRD002), as follows:

1. In the Inquire/Update entry panel (TI), type the VOLSER of the volume mentioned in the message.
2. Set DISPLAY TYPE to V
3. Press ENTER.

   The Media Database list is displayed.

   The asterisk following the VOLSER indicates that volume PRD002 is part of a multi-volume chain.

4. Specify Option G (Group) to display the other volumes in the multi-volume chain:

   The data sets on the volumes in the chain are displayed.

   Note: Data set DSN.PRD01 is not listed in the Data Set list (S) for volumes PRD002 and PRD003 that are part of the multi-volume chain containing this data set. This indicates an error.

6. Specify Option A for data set record DSN.PRD01, and for volume records for PRD002 and PRD003.

   Note that the MULTI-VOLUME data indicates that this volume is the second in the chain and that the next volume in the chain is PRD003. In addition, because the data set spans to the third volume, the file count for this volume is 0001, and the last label is 0001. This is correct.
