Saving ISMF data set lists
After an ISMF data set list is created and the results
are presented on the ISMF DATA SET LIST
panel you can issue
any line operators and list commands for these data sets.
You can also save the contents of the data set list and view the contents of this data set list at any time. You can issue any line operators or list commands for the data sets in the saved ISMF data set list.
To save the contents of an ISMF data set list, type the save listname list command on the command line field. When you issue this command, the current data set list is saved as the specified listname in the allocated output table library.

F10=Left F11=Right F12=Cursor You can issue line operators and list commands, including the VSAMREC line operator and list command, for the data sets in the selected ISMF data set list. You can issue VSAMREC for both dynamically created ISMF data set lists and saved ISMF data set lists.
- Create an ISMF data set list that contains all VSAM spheres that reside on a particular volume using the information from the catalog.
- Save this data set list with the SAVE listname list command.
- If the entire volume is lost, display the contents of the previously saved ISMF data set list using the ISMF 'List' line operator. Then, enter the VSAMREC list command to restore and recover every VSAM sphere that initially was located on the lost volume.
VSAMREC is described in more detail in Understanding VSAMREC.
