The volume application constructs a list of the type you choose in the Volume List Selection
Menu. Use line operators to do tasks with an individual volume. These tasks include
consolidating or recovering unused space, copying, backing up, and restoring volumes. TSO
commands and CLISTs can also be line operators or list commands. You can save a copy of
a volume list and reuse it later. With the list of mountable optical volumes or mountable tape
volumes, you can only browse the list.
