OW27244: OPT34 - DSLIST DOES NOT REFLECT ACCURATE DATA SET INFORMATION FOR SPACE WHEN THE DATA SET SPANS MORE THAN 20 VOLUMES.

APAR status

• Closed as requirement.

Error description

• Option 3.4 Data Set List Utility does not display accurate
  information for a multivolume data set that spans more than
  twenty - 20 volumes. The current design of OPT3.4 uses the
  CAMLST form of LOCATE. A maximum of 20 volume entries will
  fit into Locate's ouput area. The information for the 21'st
  thru the nn volume(s) are not used in the space calcualations
  by Option 3.4 .
  Similar changes are required for options 3.1 and 3.2
  .

  Additional symptom:  An asterisk is displayed following the
                       number of tracks allocated to the data
                       set.  This occurs for a mulltivolume
                       data set allocated greater that 20
                       volumes and contains canidate volumes
                       that are flagged with an asterisk in
                       the catalog.  Example: 1515 tracks
                       displays as 1515* .

Temporary fix

Comments

• In order to get information from more than 20 volumes,
  ISPF would have to change the interface it is using to obtain
  the volume names.  This is a larger design change than can
  be contained in an apar.  Therefore this apar is being closed
  as a requirement for development consideration.
