available capacity range (minimum - maximum) is shown
underneath (for example, 46 - 6720 MB, 50 - 7168 Cyl,
or 315 - 8513 blocks).
Use the No. field to enter the number of volumes of that
size. The available range is shown on the right side of the
box (for example, 1 - 489).
When Capacity Unit is MB or Cyl, there might be a
difference of up to several hundred kilobytes between the
entered CV capacity and the resulting CV capacity.
