When a VOLUME=REF subparameter refers to an earlier DD statement
to use the same volume(s):
- For tape, the system copies the LABEL label type subparameter
from the referenced DD statement; the copied label type overrides
the label type on the referencing DD statement.
- For direct access, the system uses a LABEL=(,SL) or LABEL=(,SUL)
subparameter from the referencing DD statement. If the referencing
DD statement specifies any other label type, the system copies the
LABEL label type subparameter from the referenced DD statement; the
copied label type overrides the label type on the referencing DD statement.
- You do not need to provide a data set sequence number when the
DD DSNAME parameter references all the members of a GDG or a single
member through a relative generation number; the system obtains the
data from the catalog. For all other data set names, however, you
must provide the data set sequence number on the LABEL parameter.
