MVDICT— Multiple Volume Data Set Dictionary Report

Generate a report (see MVDICT) of data set attributes listed in alphabetic sequence without regard to volume. Allocation data is included for each data set. Multiple volume data sets will appear on the report with one line for each volume they reside on, but note that for the count of 'TOTAL DATA SETS' – they are counted as one.

By default, the MVD and SVD reports display each cluster's Control Interval size of each VSAM cluster in the BLKSZ field. If you prefer that the MVD and SVD reports display each cluster's true block size for each cluster, specify the system parameter VSUSEBLK with a value of Y.

Note: The REPORT command is used to process VSAM components that are selected with the parameters SCAN REALVOLS and SELECT COMPONENTS. When you specify the COMPONENTS parameter in this REPORT command, catalog information is not available. As a result, fields such as RECFM, BLKSIZE and LRECL display Format 1 DSCB information.
