M indicates that the volume is to be mounted on the device, so that a data set can be scratched or renamed.
The system waits for the operator to reply.
If the volume can be mounted, enter REPLY xx,‘U’. Then mount the volume and ready the device.
If the volume cannot be mounted but the job step is to continue, enter REPLY xx,‘M’. The system will skip the Scratch or Rename function on this volume.
If the volume cannot be mounted, and the job must not continue unless the data set is scratched or renamed, or unless the volume is scratched, end the job step.
