there is no record length field, there is no operating system portion of the record. The PDL
commands that define the components of a record are described in the "Input record char-
acteristics - RECORD command" section of this chapter.
Multivolume processing
All multivolume reports that force input to make multiple passes over the data are handled
in the following manner. For each copy requested, a complete pass is made over the group
of volumes that make up the current report. The input processor is forced to make multiple
passes over the input data for multicopy reports that specify copy-sensitive CMEs, and (op-
tionally) for multicopy reports that exceed the size of the print file. CMEs are discussed in
the "Copy modification entries" section in the chapter "Specifying output parameters".
If a multivolume report requires multiple passes, messages appear on the system controller
display with instructions on which action must be performed next.
