Releases a volume set that was explicitly reserved by the user with VSRESERVE. The equivalent compatibility mode command is DISMOUNT. (Native Mode)

Syntax

VSRELEASE [volumesetname]

Parameters

volume- setname

The volume set to be released. If you omit the parameter, the request is issued for the home volume set of the user's logon group and account. Refer to "Operation Notes."

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 required to use this command.

Example

To request that volume set ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL be released, enter:

 VSRELEASE ACCOUNTING_PAYROLL
