Considerations
If the VOLUME command is not issued, the default settings in effect when
DNSCOM was started are used. If either the volume name or subvolume name is
omitted, the previous setting applies. If both are omitted, the default settings
revert to those in effect when DNSCOM was started.
A VOLUME command is equivalent to entering both an OBEYVOL and CMDVOL
command with the same specification.
If either part of the new specification is invalid, or would be invalid when
combined with the current defaults and the OBEYSYS setting, an error message is
displayed and the VOLUME setting is not changed.
