    #2---->  *  - THE DATA ON THIS DEVICE HAS EXCEEDED THE EFFECTIVE CAPACITY AND 'FORCECAP'
                WAS SPECIFIED         4 
      ---->  X  - THE DATA ON THIS DEVICE HAS EXCEEDED THE EFFECTIVE CAPACITY AND 'NOFORCECAP'
                WAS SPECIFIED

    #1---->  *  - THE 'SZ-MB' AMOUNT WAS FORCED TO EQUAL THE TOTAL NATIVE CAPACITY OF THE DEVICE
                    BECAUSE OF THE 'FORCECAP' OPTION
      ---->  X  - ALTHOUGH THE 'SZ-MB' OF DATA ON THIS VOLUME EXCEEDS THE CAPACITY, THE VALUE WAS NOT

1 This refers to the column of the report with the heading Volume Name.

2 The third through eighth positions of the Volume Name field contain the Volume Serial Number, but not other symbols.

3 Fields 1 and 2 of Volume Name might contain symbols as described in 4 .

4 List of possible values that could appear in the indicated field.

5 This refers to the column of the report with the heading Label Type. This section of the heading explains the meanings of the five possible values that can appear in the Label Type column. These values are standard label (SL), non-standard label (NSL), ISO/ANSI label (AL), no label (NL), and unknown label type (UNKN). For more information on label types, see z/OS DFSMS Using Magnetic Tapes.

6 This refers to the column of the report with the heading SZ-MB XFERD, which shows the size in megabytes of the data transferred to each volume.
