Identifiers

Identifiers specify particular resources of the type determined by the ID option. The effect of specifying an identifier depends on whether the ID option used with the identifier is specified with a command or with a variable.

If an ID option is used with a command, specifying identifiers restricts the report to information about the particular resources specified.
If an ID option is used with a variable, specifying identifiers restricts the range of the variable to the particular resources specified.

Note: To see the identifiers that are valid with each ID option, see the table beginning in ID Options for MVS in this chapter.
