Using the AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS VOLUMES command

When you specify the AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS VOLUMES(volser...) parameter without the SDSP qualifier, AUDIT checks control information in the common dataset descriptor (CDD, required at the start of every DFSMShsm-generated copy) in each possible DFSMShsm image of a user data set on the specified volumes. AUDIT then produces a list of errors.

To determine the type of media for each volume serial number specified, AUDIT first checks for a volume record.

If no migration volume record and no backup volume record exists for a specified volume serial number, AUDIT reports *ERR 110.
If the volume record indicates a level 0 (not DFSMShsm-owned) volume, AUDIT reports *ERR 110.
If a backup volume record exists, indicating a DASD volume, AUDIT reports *ERR 50.

When AUDIT finds a proper volume record, its content drives further checking.
