Issue/Introduction

Why I am receiving these messages for a multivolume dataset not on primary volume?

ADSDM673 2144 ATTEMPT TO PROCESS OTHER THAN FIRST PORTION OF MULTI-VOLUME DATA SET
ADSDM673 2144 DSN = data set name  IS PART 5 OF A MULTI-VOLUME DATA SET
ADSST011*0387 ddd ON VOLUME BYPASSED, REASON: PREVIOUSLY NOTED ERRORS FOR MULTI-VOL DATASET

Note: The user code VOLSEQNO,EQ,1 in the CRITERIA statement.
It is possible to have a specific parameter to use in this case ?

Environment

Release : Disk Backup and Restore 12.5

Resolution

Criteria in DSCL (Data Storage Command Language) are used to select or exclude data sets to pass to the action command.  The action command has further checks that may decide the data set can’t be processed. 
Using VOLSEQNO will eliminate those multi-volume segments that can’t be processed at a much higher level using less CPU. Since commands like Backup and Report are mixed, DISK issue messages from Backup so that customers can see why the data set was bypassed but reported on in the Report.  

The SYSOUTEX should be used to suppress the messages.
