Org. Exp. Date

The original volume expiration date written by O/C/EOV.

VF

The volume flag which can be one of the following:

Blank: Normal.
O: The volume has been opened for a write operation and has not yet been closed. O might indicate that a write operation is still in progress or that a file has been left open by a system error. You can still open the volume for output but the data might be corrupted.

SS

The location type which can be one of the following:

Blank: The volume is in location SHELF.
A: The volume is in an automatic system-managed library.
