LCTLG Command

The LCTLG command primarily lists data set information from the CA Workload Automation SE index data set. You can also use it to list special entries such as documentation, networks, triggers, or requirements from the CA Workload Automation SE database. When LCTLG is used to list data sets, the following information is displayed: volume information, creation dates and times, and device information. Also, use this command to list information from a specific CVOL catalog.

This command has the following format:

►►─ LCTLG ─┬─ ,DSN=dsname ─┬──────────────────┬─┬─┬───────────────────┬───────►◄
           │               └─ ,VOLSER=volser ─┘ │ └─ ,TZ= ─┬─ CA7 ──┬─┘
           └─ ,MASK=mask ───────────────────────┘          └─ EXEC ─┘

DSN

Defines the fully qualified name of the data set. For partial qualification, the name can end with a period or can be delimited with an asterisk (*) after the first node. DSN cannot be specified with MASK.

Limits: 1 to 44 alphanumeric characters

VOLSER

(Optional) Defines the volume serial number of a catalog, instead of the CA Workload Automation SE database index data set, from which information is to be listed. The value must be the volume serial of the pack on which the desired catalog data set resides. VOLSER is not used when listing information from the CA Workload Automation SE database; only when listing from a catalog on some other volume. VOLSER cannot be specified with MASK.

Limits: 1 to 6 alphanumeric characters

MASK

Defines the fully qualified name or mask pattern of the data set. MASK can only be used for data set names. MASK does not return prose, network, trigger, or requirement information. MASK cannot be specified with DSN.

Limits: 1 to 44 alphanumeric characters plus * and ?

TZ

(Optional) Controls whether the date/times of a data set's creation or last update should be normalized to the time zone of the running CA Workload Automation SE.

Default: Specified by the TZDISPLAY keyword on the SMF initialization file statement.

CA7: Defines that the creation or update date/time should be normalized to the running CA Workload Automation SE time zone.
EXEC: Defines that the creation or update date/time should be in the execution time zone.
