I don't think VCOUNT does what you think. From the z/OS 1.12 manual:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/F1A1B990/5.65
<quote>
VCOUNT
Specifies the number of tape data set volumes that an allocated data set
can span. When this parameter is specified without a volume_count value, the
FTP server uses the volume count 50 when it allocates tape data sets.
volume_count
Valid values are in the range 1 - 255.
</quote>
Note the word "tape" in the above. You may want UCOUNT instead.
<quote>
UCOUNT
Specifies how many devices to allocate concurrently to support the
allocation request.
unit_count
Specifies number of devices to allocate. Valid values are in the range
1 - 59. When specified without a value, the FTP server does not specify a unit
count when allocating data sets.
P
Parallel mount request.
Guideline: The UCOUNT statement is not meant to be used with an SMS storage
class. Any UCOUNT value you specify overrides whatever is specified for the SMS
managed dataclass that being used.
