Required Parameters

ICFCATALOG|VVDS

Specifies which data set is to be scanned for diagnosis.

You must have access authority under the RACF® FACILITY class to diagnose a BCS or a VVDS.

ICFCATALOG: specifies that the data set to be scanned for diagnosis is the basic catalog structure (BCS).
Abbreviation: ICFCAT
VVDS: Specifies that the data set to be scanned for diagnosis is a VVDS for a catalog BCS.

INFILE(ddname)|

INDATASET(datasetname)

names the DD statement or data set that specifies the data set to be scanned.

Because a VVDS must be referenced by its volume serial number and unit, use INFILE to specify a VVDS. A BCS can be specified by either INFILE or INDATASET.

If you are authorized to the RACF FACILITY class name of STGADMIN.IDC.DIAGNOSE.CATALOG, you are allowed to open a catalog without performing usual catalog security processing. If you are authorized to this FACILITY class name, normal RACF checking is bypassed. If you try to open a catalog and you are not authorized to this FACILITY class name, message IDC2918I is issued, processing continues, and normal RACF checking takes place.

INFILE(ddname): specifies the DD statement of the data set to be scanned.
Abbreviation: IFILE
INDATASET(datasetname): specifies the data set name of the data set to be scanned.
