DESCRIPTION

mls writes members that match <member pattern> from the partitioned dataset matching <dataset pattern> to stdout.

If <member pattern> is not provided, all members are listed.

mls is able to list the members of a partitioned generation dataset (GDS). GDS relative name notation is supported when the name is fully specified.

NOTE: If your locale is set to En_GB.IBM-285, any dollar sign ($) characters in a dataset name will be automatically translated to the pound sterling character.

EXAMPLES

List all the members of SYS1.PARMLIB:

mls SYS1.PARMLIB

List all the members of PARMLIB that start with IEA and end with 0 followed by a single character:

mls 'sys1.parmlib(iea*0?)'

List the members in the latest partitioned generation dataset from the GDG ZOAUSER.GDG:

mls 'ZOAUSER.GDG(0)'
