Dataset Listcat dialog box

You use this dialog box to issue an IDCAMS LISTCAT request for the datasets that you select in the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal.

You access this dialog box in the Dataset Actions submenu. This submenu is available in the pop-up menu that you access by right-clicking specific views in a workspace.

The dialog box provides the options shown in Table 1.

To learn about the standard capabilities of a dialog box, see Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. The topic includes a link to the Reference guides for commands that are used in the Storage Toolkit.

You can also create a custom action. See Create Batch Job dialog box, Issue Command dialog box, and Submit Command or Job dialog box.
