Blank — display data set list

z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II
SC19-3628-00

Leave the Option line blank to display a data set list. You can use these parameters to control what data set information is displayed and how delete requests are processed:

  1. Enter one or more data set name level qualifiers in the Dsname Level field. See “Dsname Level” for more information.
  2. Enter a volume serial in the Volume field if you want ISPF to create a data set list from the VTOC. If you leave this field blank, the list is created from the catalog. See Volume serial for more information.
  3. In the Initial View field, enter the view of the data set list (Volume, Space, Attributes, or Total) that you want to see first. Examples of these views are shown in Figure 1, Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3, respectively.
  4. Enter a slash (/) in the Confirm Data Set Delete field to tell ISPF to display a confirmation panel if you enter the D (delete data set) line command or the TSO DELETE command. See Confirm data set delete for more information.
  5. Enter a slash (/) in the Confirm Member Delete field to tell ISPF to display a confirmation panel if you enter the D (delete) command for a member in a data set list.
  6. Enter a slash (/) in the Include Additional Qualifiers field to tell ISPF to list all data sets that match the qualifiers in the Dsname Level field, including data sets with additional qualifiers.
  7. Enter a slash (/) in the Display Catalog Name field to tell ISPF to display the name of the catalog associated with each data set in the Total view.
  8. Enter a slash (/) in the Display Total Tracks field to tell ISPF to display an additional header line above the column headings, showing the total tracks of all data sets, the total tracks of all non-excluded data sets, the number of data sets listed and the number of non-excluded data sets listed. Depending on the size of the data set list, processing time increases because the tracks information has to be collected for the whole list up front. When the list comprises 50 data sets or more, a pop-up panel is displayed, indicating the progress of the data collection.
  9. Enter a slash (/) to prefix the data set name level qualifiers in the Dsname Level field.
  10. Press Enter to display the data set list, as shown in Figure 1.
Note: If a plus displays after the volume serial (for example, HSM020+) on a list obtained from the catalog, the data set spans multiple volumes. Information displayed about that data set by selecting Information or Short Information or by using the Space or Total view will represent the total amounts across all used volumes. For further information, see the description for Volume at Volume.

When a VTOC list is displayed and a multivolume data set is included on that volume, there will not be an indicator that this data set spans multiple volumes, and the information on a space or total view will be for that volume only. The information displayed on a VTOC list is only information obtained from the VTOC of that volume. When the multivolume data set is selected for information or for short information, the space information will be for all volumes that the data set spans.
