1. you have 1 too many commas. there should only be 3.
2. this parameter is usually used on a dd statement to specify the maximum # of ouput volumes (usually tapes of some kind) to be allowed before the job Abends.
3. the reason you specify this is because the system by default will only give you a maximun of 5 output volumes before Abending.
4. NOTE when you specify vol=(,,,99) you actually will get 99+5 volumes before your job abends because the system will always give the # of output volumes you specify PLUS its default of 5.
5. the maximun number I believe has been increased to 256 from the max of 99 in Z\os, but don't take that as gospel!!
