The LIBDEF Display Utility displays all active and stacked LIBDEF definitions for the current logical screen in a scrollable list. Optionally, a specific LIBDEF library definition may be selected.
The ISPF system command, ISPLIBD [libtype] invokes the LIBDEF Display Utility. The optional parameter, libtype, identifies a specific LIBDEF library definition to be displayed. All LIBDEF definitions for the current logical screen are displayed if the parameter is omitted, if the parameter is longer than 8 characters, or if the parameter specifies ISPPROF as the library name.
For each LIBDEF definition displayed, this information is provided:
An "S" is displayed to the left of the library name when a stacked LIBDEF definition is presented.
For type DATASET/EXCLDATA this column contains the data set names. The associated ISPxUSR data set names is shown when the respective DDNAME is allocated. The ISPxUSR data sets are not shown as part of a stacked definition.
For type LIBRARY/EXCLLIBR this column contains the library name (ddname) followed by the first or only allocated data set name.
The LIBDEF Display Utility supports the use of a LOCATE command. LOCATE is used to locate a specific LIBDEF library name. Two command abbreviations, LOC and L, are also supported.
This figure shows a LIBDEF Utility display of all LIBDEF definitions. Figure 2 shows a display of a single LIBDEF definition, and Figure 3 shows a LIBDEF stacked definition.

⋘---------------------------------------------------------------------┘When you are in the Dialog Test utility (test environment), and you issue a LIBDEF for a panel data set from option 7.6, the LIBDEF is set up under the user environment. In order to display a panel from the library for which you issued the LIBDEF or to display the active LIBDEFs, you must go through a Dialog Test utility interface.
