VSAM Control Block Options

VSAM Control Block options are specified using the CAIOPTS data set. These options control which VSAM Control Blocks are displayed on the Open Files report: ACB, AMB, AMBL, PLH, RPL, and VSAMIDX. The Data Management Control Blocks, including VSAM Control Blocks, for all open files in the job step optionally display.

Note: BLOCKS ON or OFF turns all VSAM control block options ON or OFF. For example, to display open ACBs and no other I/O control blocks specify the following:

BLOCKS OFF ACB ON.

No Data Management Control Blocks, except open ACBs, are displayed.
