OLIST commands
Data Set Commander provides a function called OLIST that gives access to the different object classes.
OLIST maintains two types of object lists–temporary and permanent.
Permanent OLISTs are maintained in the user's OLIST library. By default, when the user logs on, Data Set Commander looks for a non-linked library with the DD name PLSTLIBW.
If it does not find this DD name PLSTLIBW pre-allocated, it tries
to allocate an existing library named 'id.PLIST.LIBRARY' (later, using
the Customization Wizard, you determine whether id
is the TSO
userid or the user's current TSO prefix). If such a library does not
exist, it attempts to use DD IPITBLIB. If this is also unavailable,
Data Set Commander dynamically creates a new 'id.PLIST.LIBRARY', with
these attributes: DSNTYPE(LIBRARY) DSORG(PO) RECFM(F B) LRECL(80)
BLKSIZE(6160) SPACE=(320,160)
, and the UNIT name specified with
the Customization Wizard.
Note: Although Data Set Commander version 7.1 allows a user to separate
the OLISTs from other persistent tables in different libraries, it
is recommended that a single PDSE library be maintained for both purposes.
