Using the Data Set List Utility

Data Set List Utility is the fourth option on the Utility Selection panel. To access this option, type 4 at the command line and press Enter. The Data Set List Utility panel is displayed.

Following is a description of the fields on this panel.

• Dsname Level. Specifies the level or levels of any dataset that you want to list or print. When you specify the Dsname level, you are defining the level qualifiers for the dataset names to be included in the list.

• Volume. Shows a dataset list that contains dataset names and the volumes on which they reside.
• Space. Shows a dataset list that contains dataset names, tracks, percentages used, extents, and devices.
• Attrib. Shows a dataset list that contains dataset names, dataset organizations, record formats, logical record lengths, and block sizes.

• Confirm Data Set Delete. Controls whether the Confirm Delete panel appears when you are using the D (delete dataset) line command from the displayed datalist or the TSO Delete command.
• Confirm Member Delete. Controls if the Confirm Delete panel appears when you are using the D (delete ) command for a member in the displayed dataset list.
