Edited Format

z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities

The edited format of a partitioned data set directory is meant to be used with module libraries. Most of the information given in an edited listing is meaningful only for load modules.

If you request an edited listing of a partitioned data set or PDSE whose members are not load modules, you will get an edited listing. In that case, the listing will contain information about your data set that will not necessarily be correct. Only request an edited listing of a data set whose members are load modules.

When you request an edited format of a module library, IEHLIST provides the following information:
  • Member name
  • Entry point
  • Relative address of start of member
  • Relative address of start of text
  • Contiguous virtual storage requirements
  • Length of first block of text
  • Origin of first block of text
  • System status indicators
  • Linkage editor attributes
  • APF authorization required
  • Other information.

Figure 1 shows an edited entry for a partitioned member, LOADMOD. The entry is shown as it is listed by the IEHLIST program. Please note, however, that this figure is only an example of a listing of a partitioned data set or PDSE directory. Your actual edited listing produced by the IEHLIST program may differ.

Before printing the directory entries on the first page, an index is printed explaining the asterisk (*), if any, following a member name, the attributes (fields 3 and 10), and other information (field 12). Under OTHER INFORMATION INDEX, scatter and overlay format data is described positionally as it appears in the listing; under the ATTRIBUTE INDEX, the meaning of each attribute bit is explained. There is no index for the VS ATTR field. The data displayed in this field is from the PDS2FTBO field in the PDS directory.

Each directory entry occupies one printed line, except when the member name is an alias and the main member name and associated entry point appear in the user data field. When this occurs, two lines are used and every alias is followed by an asterisk. If the main member is renamed, the old member name will still be in the alias directory entry and consequently printed on the second line.
