IEC101A
M dev,ser,jjj,sss [,dsname]

Explanation

M indicates that a volume is to be mounted on a device:
  • If the volume serial number is a 6-digit serial number, the volume with that serial number is to be mounted on the device.
  • If the volume serial is SCRTCH, a scratch volume is to be mounted.
  • If the volume serial number begins with a slash or L, the volume to be mounted is unlabeled; the number after the slash or L is an internal serial number assigned by the system to an unlabeled volume. If ser begins with L, the number after the L is of the form xxxyy, where xxx is the data set number and yy is the volume sequence number for the data set.

In the message text, labtyp and dsname appear only for tape volumes. The volume has the type of label specified by labtyp: SL for standard label, NSL for nonstandard label, or NL for no label; the density is as specified by den.

If a MONITOR DSNAME command is active, the data set contained on the volume is also specified in the message text.

In the message text:
dev
The device number of the specified device.
ser
The volume serial number.
jjj
The job name.
sss
The step name.
dsname
The data set name.

Operator response

If ser is SCRTCH, make sure that the file protection ring has been inserted in the volume.

Mount the volume on the device; then, ready the device.
