Operation Notes
This command releases a volume set when it is no longer in use and negates a previous
reservation of a volume set.
The MPE/iX naming convention for volume sets differs from that of MPE V/E for private
volumes.
In MPE V/E, the name A.B.C indicates that B is the name of a group and that C is the
name of an account. MPE/iX accepts that name, but no interpretation is made as to the
referencing of B and C. Instead, MPE/iX treats A.B.C as a single, long string name. It is
the flexibility of the MPE/iX naming convention that makes it possible for MPE/iX to work
with a volume set designated A.B.C.
MPE/iX volume set names may consist of any combination of alphanumeric characters,
including the underbar (_) and the period (.). The name must begin with an alphabetic
character and consist of no more than 32 characters.
A volume set called MY_OWN_PERSONAL_VOLUME_SET is acceptable in MPE/iX, and so is
MY.OWN.PERSONAL.VOLUME.SET; similarly, A.B.C is acceptable.
If a volume set is named according to the MPE V/E naming convention (A.B.C), you must
use an unambiguous reference when using the MPE/iX volume set commands, such as:
Vcommand A.B.C
Entering: Vcommand A fails to access the volume set. You cannot specify the first part of
the volume set name alone and expect the group and account to default.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command. Use volumes (UV) or create volumes (CV) capability is
