BACKUPVOLUME: Listing backup volume entries

Explanation: BACKUPVOLUME is a required parameter you specify to request a list of selected information from backup volume entries contained in the BCDS.

BACKUPVOLUME specifies that you want a list of all backup volumes.

For volser, substitute the serial number of the specific backup volume you want listed.

Defaults: If you specify BACKUPVOLUME without (volser), DFSMShsm lists all backup volume entries contained in the BCDS.

Note:
  1. If you specify this parameter, you get a list, but you do not get any additional information about the data sets on the backup volume.
