NEWCLASS
The NEWCLASS command adds a volume class to a volume set and optionally
adds volumes to that class. You can create a class without assigning any
volumes to it. However, if you wish to assign volumes, those volumes
must be already defined. Refer to the NEWVOL command. You can assign
additional volumes to the class with the EXPANDCLASS command.
