Hi Rob,

It was cataloged using the tso command
define nonvsam('name('dataset name ') devicetypes('XXX') volumes('vol1,vol2,vol3') recatalog)

where in it has picked only vol1

Thanks,
Shovan
  • What does LISTCAT VOL ENTRIES('...') say?
  • Do you know for a fact the data set actually exists on vol1, vol2 and vol3? Just because the JCL allegedly used to create the data set says this do not believe it. You need to examine the job output of the job that allegedly created the data set. Check the messages in both the JESMSGLG and JESYSMSG data sets. If this is unavailable check the tape management system catalog for the volume status of the three volumes.
  • How do know it only mounts vol1? I am saying here there is a very good chance the data set exists only on vol1, despite what the catalog and JCL say.
