Catalog Display

The z/OS catalog system (option 2.6) stores unit and volume information about data sets. Its use is largely optional for normal jobs. The catalog is not consulted if unit and volume information is provided in job control language (JCL) that describes a non‑VSAM data set. VSAM data sets must be cataloged.
