Displaying MVS device allocation settings information

Use the DISPLAY ALLOC,OPTIONS command to display either of the following:
  • The current MVS Device Allocation settings that are in use, as set by the ALLOCxx parmlib member at IPL, or modified by the SETALLOC operator command.
  • The system defaults, if no ALLOCxx member has been specified or no SETALLOC command has been processed.
D ALLOC,OPTIONS
 
D ALLOC,OPTIONS

  [,L={a|name|name-a}]
           
ALLOC,OPTIONS
Indicates the categories and Allocation settings that are currently being used. Certain options are displayed only when they are applicable to the settings that the system is using.
L=a, name, or name-a
Specifies the display area (a), console name (name), or both (name-a) where the display is to appear.

If you omit this operand, the display is presented in the first available display area or the message area of the console through which you enter the command.

Note: For the output of the DISPLAY ALLOC,OPTIONS command, see the description of message IEFA003I in z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 8 (IEF-IGD).

Example:

If you enter D ALLOC,OPTIONS,L=Z, the output appears in the following format:
