VSRELEASE


     Releases a volume set that was explicitly reserved by the
     user with VSRESERVE.  This corresponds to the DISMOUNT
     command.  (NM)

SYNTAX


     VSRELEASE [volumesetname]


PARAMETERS


volumesetname       The volume set that is to be released.  If you omit
                    the parameter, the request is issued for the home
                    volume set of the user's logon group and account.
                    Refer to "OPERATION".


OPERATION


     This command releases a volume set when it is no longer in
     use and negates a previous reservation of a volume set.

     MPE/iX uses a new naming convention for volume sets.

     In MPE V/E, the name A.B.C indicates that B is the name of a
     group and that C is the name of an account.  MPE/iX will
     accept that name, but no interpretation is made as to the
     referencing of B and C.  Instead, MPE/iX treats A.B.C as a
     single, long string name.  It is the flexibility of the new
     MPE/iX naming convention that makes it possible for MPE/iX
     to work with a volume set designated A.B.C.

     MPE/iX volume set names may consist of any combination of
     alphanumeric characters, including the underbar (_) and the
     period (.).  The name must begin with an alphabetic
     character and consist of no more than 32 characters.

     A volume set called MY_OWN_PERSONAL_VOLUME_SET is acceptable
     in MPE/iX, and so is MY.OWN.PERSONAL.VOLUME.SET; similarly,
     A.B.C is acceptable.

     Be aware, though, that if a volume set is named according to
     the old MPE V/E naming convention (A.B.C), then you must use
     an unambiguous reference when using the MPE/iX volume set
     commands.  For example, the command below works:

          Vcommand A.B.C

     The next command, however, will fail to access the volume set,
     since you cannot specify the first part of the volume set name
     alone and expect the group and account to default.

          Vcommand A

     This command may be issued from a session, job, or in BREAK,
     or from a program.  Pressing [Break] has no effect on this
     command.  You must have UV (Use Volumes) or CV (Create
     Volumes) capability to use this command.
