Renaming a batch of Volumes can be completed in one process using a configuration file, definition file, Volume List and TMSS10VolumeRename.

When TMSS10VolumeRename is executed, the configuration file will use the definition file to load the Volumes into a scan list.

Volumes from the target Customer are then compared to the Scan list and either processed (if in the Scan list) or discarded (if not in the Scan list)

The Volumes processed are then renamed according to the logic in the Command Line code.

Adding L5 suffix to all Volumes in the input file volumes.txt for Customer US04, Media LTO.
