VOLUME Command
VOLUME defines the default node, volume, and subvolume names for the expansion
of unqualified names. These default names remain in effect until another VOLUME
command is issued or the session ends.
Use ENV to display the current values set by a VOLUME command.
\node
is the node name to use. When not given, the current default node is used.
$volume
is the volume name to use. When not given, the current default volume name is
used.
subvolume
is the subvolume name to use. When not given, the current default subvolume
name is used.
Example
An ENV command entered as the first command of a MEDIACOM session displays:
MC> ENV

File Catalog \SKY.FILE_CATALOG_SKY
Volume Catalog \SKY.MASTER_TAPE_CATALOG
