VATLST00 -- Volume attribute list that defines the "mount" and "use" attributes of direct access volumes.  Multiple lists named VATLSTxx replace PRESRES.

MVSRES,0,2,3350    ,Y
MVSDLB,0,2,3350    ,Y
WORK01,0,0,3350    ,Y

Parameter in IEASYSxx

VAL=aa

VAL=(aa,bb, . . .)

Notes

1. Do not specify a list at a given IPL that contains entries for volumes that will not be mounted unless "N" is specified to suppress the mount message.  Specifying "Y" will cause unmounted volumes to require operator intervention with resultant delay.

2. A private volume is allocated only to a specific volume request.

3. A public volume is allocated to temporary, non-specific volume request (or possibly to a specific volume request).  A scratch data set would be placed on a public volume.

4. A storage volume is allocated primarily to a non-temporary non-specific volume request.  (A temporary non-specific volume request may also be allocated to a storage volume.  A storage volume can also be allocated to a specific volume request.)

5. A storage volume is required by the SAVE subcommand of EDIT for a newly created data set.
