Operands

DSNpatt
A free form pattern of a cataloged DSNAME. If the pattern is not supplied, DSC displays the DSNAME pattern entry panel.
VOLpatt
A free form pattern of a VOLUME.

Usage notes

LISTCAT is a main command only; it cannot be used as a line command.

A pattern may have * and % wild cards in any position.

DSC supports more generic patterns than ISPF DSLIST. The whole DSN is treated as a contiguous character string, regardless of the number of dots (qualifiers).

DSC automatically appends a .* to any DSN pattern that is not supported by ISPF DSLIST.
