Error description

• For multifile volumes having 10,000+ data sets residing on them,
  EDGCNVT only converts the first 9,999 data set records in the
    input file into RMM-record-format records in the output file.
    Message EDGCNVT-00005 is issued once for each data set record
    whose file sequence number exceeds 9,999:
                                                                 .
      EDGCNVT-00145
        The Number of Data Set Name Records supplied via the
        DEXTRACT data set is not as expected.  It should be
        Volume Records data set count field (LDSNCNT) minus
        one.  The Volume information is shown below.
