The DFSMSrmm SEARCH-type of subcommands are: SEARCHBIN, SEARCHDATASET, SEARCHOWNER, SEARCHPRODUCT, SEARCHRACK, SEARCHVOLUME, and SEARCHVRS. You use these subcommands to obtain information from the DFSMSrmm control data set about resources defined to DFSMSrmm.

When you specify OUTPUT=FIELDS, the DFSMSrmm API returns data for all SEARCH type of subcommands as structured fields. DFSMSrmm returns the output data for one or more resources in your output buffer each time you call the API. Use the MULTI=YES keyword to specify that your application can handle multiple resources returned in your output buffer. You must specify OPERATION=CONTINUE after processing your output buffer to obtain the output data for the next resource or set of resources. Continue to call the DFSMSrmm API until the output data for all matching resources has been returned.
