Interpreting LISTCAT Output Listings
The various LISTCAT command options allow you to select the LISTCAT output that gives you the information you want. This appendix provides information on the structure of LISTCAT output if you use certain options. Fields that can be printed for each type of catalog entry are listed and described.
Each catalog entry is identified by its type (for example: cluster, non-VSAM, data) and by its entryname. Entries are listed in alphabetic order of the entrynames, unless the ENTRIES parameter is used. The entries are then listed in the order they are specified in the ENTRIES parameter.
An entry that has associated entries is immediately followed by the listing of each associated entry. That is, a cluster's data component (and, if the cluster is key-sequenced, its index component) is listed immediately following the cluster. The associated entry is excluded if type options (CLUSTER, DATA, SPACE, and so on) or a generic entryname list are specified.
- LISTCAT Output Keywords lists all field names that can be listed for each type of entry.
- Description of Keyword Fields describes each field name within a group of related field names.
- Examples of LISTCAT Output Listings describes and illustrates the LISTCAT output that results when various LISTCAT options are specified.
