NDSVOLS=volser

volser: specifies any valid VOLSER (volume serial number). A VOLSER is a six-character name of an OS/390 DASD volume. The name contains one to six alphanumeric or national characters. Volume serial numbers are site-specific.

Details

This option is used only for Version 5 SAS data libraries. With this option you can specify a volume serial that causes SAS to treat a data set reference to that volume as if you had specified _NULL_. This option is useful for production SAS jobs that, for example, need to initialize catalog generation data groups.
