specified for a non split volume set, an error is returned and the volume
set is not opened.
Operation Notes
This command notifies the system to open the specified volume set. Because bringing a
volume set online opens the set by default, this command is needed only for a volume set
for which a VSCLOSE command has been issued.
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. This command may be issued only from the system console
unless distributed to other users with the ALLOW command.
Examples
To open the volume set ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL, enter:
VSOPEN ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL
