1 This refers to the column of the
report with the heading Volume Name.
2 The third through eighth positions
of the Volume Name field contain the Volume Serial Number, but not
other symbols.
3 Fields 1 and 2 of Volume Name might
contain symbols as described in 4 .
4 List of possible values that could

(NSL), ISO/ANSI label (AL), no label (NL), and unknown label type
(UNKN). For more information on label types, see z/OS DFSMS Using Magnetic Tapes.
6 This refers to the column of the
report with the heading SZ-MB XFERD, which shows the size in megabytes
of the data transferred to each volume.
