Data set application

Use the Data Set Selection Entry panel to specify certain attributes and request a list of corresponding data sets and their characteristics. The data sets must be open for VSAM RLS access in order to appear on the list. If you specify CF attributes, ISMF displays the following CF information for each data set matching your criteria:

CF status indicator
Indicates whether the data set is in use by RLS processing, whether a forward recovery of the data set is in progress, and whether the sphere has been quiesced for RLS processing.
CF monitor status
Indicates whether CF cache structure statistical monitoring is on or off.
CF cache structure name
Specifies the name of the CF cache structure in which the data set is stored.
CF cache set name
Specifies the name of the CF cache set with which the data set is associated.

You can also use these values as attributes on the Data Set Filter, View, and Sort panels to customize the data set list created by ISMF.
