The value of &SYSTERM_VOLUME is always null.
The value of the type attribute is U, and the value of the count attribute is 0.
You can use &SYSTERM_VOLUME in a macro definition to obtain the volume identifier of the first volume containing the data set to which the assembler is writing the terminal records.
The local-scope system variable symbol &SYSTERM_VOLUME is assigned a read-only value each time a macro definition is called.
If the assembler runs on the CMS component of the z/VM operating system, and the terminal records are being written to a Shared File System CMS file, &SYSTERM_VOLUME is assigned the value "** SFS".
If the volume on which the data set resides is not labeled, &SYSTERM_VOLUME is assigned a null character string.
