How to find SYM # for standard volumes

Is there a way to query mainframe standard volumes to find their sym#'s? I can find the sym numbers for the BCV's without a problem using the timefinder query command, but I can't seem to find the sym numbers for the standard volumes. I have ResourcePak 5.2.0 installed.
z/OS 1.4 & 1.9
DMX-3
Thanks very much.

Greetings Nicolaj, and welcome to the EMC Forums.

I took your question to one of our staff. He suggested:

/F SCF580,DEV,DIS,DEV(0000-FFFF)
The command is covered in the manual here:
http://powerlink.emc.com/km/live1/en_US/Legacy_Conversion/PL_Support/Doc_Library/300-999-341_b05_elccnt_0.pdf#page=40

This will send output to the console w/ the info requested.

Hope this helps!

Dave I'm pretty sure you have a google translator for this .. :-)

Haha! Try as I might, I just can not find the "English to Symm" translator :^0

Maybe they have one on google.it ? Then we could have you translate Symm to readable (Italian) language, and I could then wash it through to English.

But then the customers would know what it all means!

Best regards my prolific posting friend,

Hi,
As a output of this command:

/F EMCSCF,DEV,DIS,DEV(A000-A001)

EMCSCF is a procname

you can receive:

A000( ) OFFLINE EMC-000290102206-E000-0042-00-00
A001( ) OFFLINE EMC-000290102206-E000-0043-00-01

where:
EMC-000290102206 is a serial and manufacture number
E000 ¿ SSID
0042 - SYMDEV
00 - LCU
00 - UA

Regards
Marcin
