Catalog Utility Data Set List

The Catalog Utility Data Set List screen is presented when you type a request into the Catalog Utility screen. The user identifies the data sets to be processed by specifying a wildcarded DSN. If only the data sets within a single volume are to be processed (whether cataloged or uncataloged), a Volume serial is also specified. The Catalog Utility Data Set List screen contains a line item for each data set selected for processing.

You may perform various CA File Master Plus functions for any of the listed data sets by typing an action code to the left of the DSN.

The SORT primary command can be used to sort the line items by any of the column titles. The syntax of the SORT command is:

SORT ccc a  

where 'ccc' is two or more positions of the column title and 'a' is 'A' (ascending) or 'D' (descending).

When the second positional parameter (A or D) is omitted, a descending sort is done for the Trks column and an ascending sort is done for all other columns. If the first positional parameter (column name) is omitted, the line items are sorted ascending by DSN.

You can use the FIND primary command to locate line items whose DSN contains specified character strings.

The list of data sets and all of the fields on each line item can be printed with a primary command of P.

The MEMBER primary command can be used to search catalogued partitioned data sets for members by name. The syntax of the MEMBER command is:

MEMBER member-name

where 'member-name' is an optional 1-8 character member name or wildcarded member name representing the search argument.

The MEMBER command displays the Locate PDSs With Specified Member screen from the PDS Utility and populates the Wildcarded DSN for PDSs field with the Search Dataset Name used to create your catalogued data set list. If a member name is specified, it is used to populate the Member Name field for the search. The MEMBER command can only be used to search catalogued partitioned data sets.

Each line item contains the following fields for each data set.
