    In the MULTI-VOLUME data at the bottom of the screen, DBA002 is indicated as the previous volume in the multi-volume chain, and DBA004 is indicated as the next volume. Because the previous screen showed that these volumes (DBA002 and DBA004) have volume sequence numbers of 002 and 004 respectively, it is apparent that the correct volume sequence number for volume DBA003 is 003.
