    These values specify that the list is generated from the master catalog, the user catalog, data acquired from the VTOC for data sets that have not been migrated by DFSMShsm, and data from the MCDS for migrated data sets.

  2. Verify that pages 2, 3, and 4 of the Data Set Selection Entry Panel are blank. If they are not blank, you receive the short informational message OTHER VALUES PRESENT.
  3. Press the ENTER key. ISMF generates and displays the data set list shown in Figure 2. This list conforms to the selection criteria.
