  Notes: If an online INIT is attempted on a volume that has
  been initialized as a Data Facility Storage Mnagement Sub-
  system (DFSMS) managed volume and data sets other than the
  VTOC index data set or VVDS exist, the command will be
  terminated and message ICK32177I DATA SETS EXIST ON DFSMS
  MANAGED VOLUME will be in the job output. Refer to the
  ICKDSF User's Guide and Reference Manual for more details.

    ICKDSF_NODSEXIST=
  
     YES - Enable the ICKDSF NODSEXIST parameter to be defaulted
           for the ICKDSF INIT command. If the NODSEXIST parameter
           is defaulted and the device contains data sets other
           than the VTOC index data set or VVDS, the command will
           be terminated and message ICK32179I DATA SET EXIST ON
           VOLUME will be in the job output. Refer to the ICKDSF
           User's Guide and Reference Manual for more details.
  
     NO  - Disable the ICKDSF NODSEXIST parameter to be defaulted
           for the ICKDSF INIT command. If the NODSEXIST parameter
           is disabled and the device contains datasets, the
           command will not be terminated because data sets exist.
  
   Default: ICKDSF_NODSEXIST=NO
  
   Note: If an online INIT is attempted on a volume that has been
   initialized as a Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem(
   DFSMS) managed volume and data sets other than the VTOC index
   data set or VVDS exist, the command will be terminated and
