Volume File Scan

Use the Volume File Scan to shows where files are located in storage and the names of all files that are cataloged, not cataloged, and mis-cataloged.

To review files

1. From the Primary menu, select option 6.

   The File Information Menu is displayed.

2. Select option 3.

   The Volume File Scan screen is displayed.

3. Enter your selection criteria.

   The Volume File Search Display screen is displayed with information about the selected files. For information on the fields on this screen, press F1 (Help).

4. (Optional) To browse one of the files listed on this display, enter B next to the data set name.
5. (Optional) To freeze a file and monitor changes to it, enter F next to it.

Note: Files that have an expiration date of 31 DEC 99 (99365 or 99366) are considered to be “never‑scratch” dates. Therefore, any combination of a valid expiration date range in the From date and To date fields will not select a file which has an expiration date of either 99365 or 99366 since these two dates are not truly expiration dates. To ensure that you will select files that have either of these two dates specified, do not use any dates in the From date and To date fields.
