This panel allows you to generate a volume list.
When option 1, SAVED LIST, is selected, you enter the name of the saved list in the LIST NAME field under option 1 GENERATE FROM A SAVED LIST. A previously saved list is displayed.
To include a single volume, enter a fully qualified volume serial number of 1 to 6 characters: VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER ===> SYS001
For a partially qualified volume serial number, use asterisks as global volume serial number characters or percent signs as place holders. For example, to include a range of volumes, enter a partially qualified volume serial number by using one or two asterisks as global volume serial number characters: VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER ===> T*9*
Use a single asterisk to specify all mounted volumes that fit your other selection criteria: VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER ===> * This field is primed with the last value used. The default value is an asterisk.
