ALTERNATEVOLUMES: Specifying the replacement volumes to use

Explanation: ALTERNATEVOLUMES is an optional parameter that identifies specific alternate tape volumes to substitute for the original tape volumes. The alternate tape volumes are selected by their volume serial numbers avol. If specified, the number of entries in ORIGINALVOLUMES and ALTERNATEVOLUMES must match. The TAPEREPL function maintains a one-for-one correspondence between the two sets of entries.

Attention: The volumes that are specified in the ALTERNATEVOLUMES parameter will replace the volumes in ORIGINALVOLUMES even if they do not contain valid DFSMShsm data.

Defaults: None.
