DISPLAY DATAVIEW Command

The DISPLAY command or equivalent DISPLAY prompter displays an existing dataview definition using

For CA Datacom CBS dataviews and modeled sequential file dataviews: You can produce a formatted display of a dataview definition, including field descriptions, if the dataview was defined to the Datadictionary and cataloged in CA Ideal.

For SQL, VSAM, and unmodeled sequential file dataviews: You can produce a formatted display of a dataview definition that was defined to the dictionary facility and cataloged in CA Ideal, or, before the dataview was cataloged, you can produce a listing as entered. For VSAM and unmodeled sequential file dataviews, entering the DISPLAY DATAVIEW command also makes the specified dataview the current CA Ideal entity.

You access the DISPLAY DATAVIEW prompted by selecting Option 1 on the Dataview Maintenance Menu or by issuing the DISPLAY DATAVIEW command.
