Allocation with volume premounting in a JES2 system

In a JES2 system, to identify volumes that the operator must mount before the job is executed, code:
   /*SETUP serial-number,...  

When the job enters the system, JES2 issues a message to the operator console to ask the operator to mount the identified volumes. JES2 places the job on hold until the operator mounts the volumes, then releases the job.

Example

/*SETUP  223344,556677,889900  
Note: IBM® recommends that you do not use the /*SETUP control statement to specify volumes in an IBM 3495 Tape Library Dataserver. This statement causes the job to be unnecessarily held until released by the operator.
