Option 3.4 — DSLIST
The IPCS Data Set List Utility panel, Figure 1, lets you request a list of cataloged data sets. The default for the DSNAME LEVEL is your TSO/E user ID, even if you fill the field with blanks. In the example screen, it is JOHNDOE. After you press ENTER, the next screen lists all cataloged data sets you can access with the DSNAME LEVEL value as the first qualifier.

COMMAND ===>
Enter the parameter below:
DSNAME LEVEL ===> JOHNDOE
* The following line commands will be available when the list is displayed.
A - Add data set to IPCS inventory V - View data set using ISPF
B - Browse data set using ISPF = - Repeat last command
D - Delete data set IPCS subcommand, CLIST or REXX exec
E - Edit data set using ISPF
Table 1 shows the line commands for
the data set list. You can specify more than one line command; IPCS
processes all commands, from the top of the list down, before showing
the list again. If processing of a command results in an error code
of 8 or greater, IPCS stops processing commands and displays the panel
again, with your remaining line commands in place. If you want to
continue with the line commands, press ENTER. If not, either:
- Replace the unwanted line commands with blanks and press ENTER.
- Enter an END primary command to leave the data set list.
While entering commands in the data set list, do not use INSERT mode or the DELETE key. Shifting data shown in the list can make IPCS treat all or part of the data set name as part of the command text.
