The PHYSINDYNAM keyword specifies dynamic allocation for the volume to be processed.

volser: Specifies the volume serial number of a DASD volume to be processed.
unit: Specifies the device type of a DASD volume to be processed. This parameter is optional.

Note:

The volume must be mounted and online.
Do not specify a non-specific volume serial number, such as an asterisk (*).
Specify only one volume for CONSOLIDATE processing.
Consider using PHYSINDYNAM instead of PHYSINDDNAME to allocate DASD volumes. Doing so does not appreciably increase run-time and might simplify your coding of JCL and command input.
