Error description

  • The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS' panel ADB25TC 'Template
Common Options' field VOLCNT was defined as too small thus
customer could not enter the maximum allowable value of 255.
.
PM47949 restricts input to 59, for SMS managed datasets, which
is fine for DASD datasets; but customer wishes to enter up to
255 for SMS managed and non SMS managed tape datasets.
