Changing the ADD product volume defaults

When you use the DFSMSrmm ISPF dialog to define product volumes to DFSMSrmm, the dialog issues either the RMM TSO CHANGEVOLUME or ADDVOLUME subcommand.

When ADDVOLUME is used, the dialog has some hard-coded default values set for RETPD and RELEASEACTION. You can modify the dialog EXEC EDGRPADV to change the values to ones that suit your installation.

The EDGRPADV dialog default is:

     command = edgcmd" ADDVOLUME "edg@vol" STATUS(MASTER)" ,
               "NUMBER('"edgraddq(edg@pnum)"') LEVEL("edg@ver")",
               "FEAT("edg@fcd")" ,
               "MEDIANAME('"edgraddq(edg@medn)"')",
               "LOCATION("edg@loc") RETPD(90) RELEASE(RETURN)"

To modify the values that the EDGRPADV EXEC uses, install your changes using an SMP/E USERMOD after editing a copy of the EDGRPADV EXEC. The only modifications you should make are to either add new operands to the ADDVOLUME command, or to change the values set for the MASTER, RETPD, and RELEASE operands.
