Unedited (Dump) Format

The unedited formatted listing produced by IEHLIST can be used to list the directories of any type of partitioned data set or PDSE. The directories of partitioned data sets or PDSEs whose members were not produced by the linkage editor are best listed using the unedited format. In an unedited listing, each member is listed separately and in hexadecimal.

Figure 1 shows the format of an unedited listing of a three-member partitioned data set or PDSE directory. Please note, however, that the figure displays only an example of an unedited formatted listing produced by IEHLIST program. Your actual unedited listing by IEHLIST program may differ.

To correctly interpret user data information, you must know the format of the partitioned entry. The formats of directory entries are discussed in z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets.
