FXmto with Multiple Volume Datasets

Multiple Volume Dataset is supported only for FXmto, when the version is 01-
XX-50/ YY(XX=01 or 02, 03 or 04) or higher. Table 2-4 Illustrates this.

Note: Multiple Volume Dataset is not supported for FXotm. A multiple volume
definition file (multidef.dat) is necessary in current directory. FAL will check
Dataset Serial number, Data set serial number and Last volume containing

data in this data set in Data set indicators on VTOC DSCB1.

Note: Multiple volume Dataset is supported for FileExchangeotm when the
version is 01-XX-60/YY (XX=02 or 03 or 04) or higher.

Note: For Windows 2000/2003, you should not write a signature on shared
volumes, which are 3390-3X, 3390-9X, 3390-LX, or 3380-KX, 3380-3X
(X=A,B,C). If you try to write a signature on the shared volumes, FX can not
guarantee that the volumes will be shared with other OS’s (AIX, Solaris, HP-

UX, Tru64, Linux, etc). When you use a shared volume with Windows
2000/2003 only, FX will perform correctly if you write a signature on the
shared volumes. (A “write error” message will appear in the System log, but

this will not have a negative influence on FX operation.)

Note: FAL/FCU supports two kinds of mainframes, MVS

and VSE. For

Multiple Volume Dataset, FAL/FCU is only supported on MVS
