Using the ISMF Data Set List

With Interactive Storage Management Facility (ISMF), you can use the data set list application to determine whether SAM or VSAM data sets have associated DDM attributes, and the value of the CCSID attribute.

Using the FILTER, LIST, SORT, or VIEW command, select specified data sets and sort on the DDMATTR field in column 34 and the CCSID DESCRIPTION field in column 35. The DDMATTR field indicates whether or not a data set has DDM attributes and the CCSID DESCRIPTION field gives the value of the CCSID. Figure 1 is an example of the resulting output.
