You can obtain information about a single data set or about every
data set for which DFSMShsm has any record. You can also select groups
of data sets. Optional parameters allow you to select:
- Information from the backup control data set
- Information from the migration control data set
- Information from both the backup and the migration control data
sets
- Information about data sets that have been recalled
- Information about data sets with a certain minimum age, maximum
age, or between a minimum and a maximum age
- Information about data sets on ML1 volumes
- Information about data sets on ML2 volumes
- Information about the designated data sets on a specific migration
volume
- A list of all of the migrated data sets that were empty at the
time of migration
- Information about the data sets in SDSP data sets
- Information about the data sets not in SDSP data sets
- Information about VSAM data sets
- A summary of the information about the data sets
Many permutations exist for requesting information about data sets
and levels. Some of them are shown here.
Sample requests for information about data sets are:
This request obtains information about all data sets that are recorded
in the backup control data set.
LIST DATASETNAME BACKUPCONTROLDATASET
This request obtains information about the data set identified
by
dsname from the migration control data
set.
LIST DATASETNAME(dsname) MIGRATIONCONTROLDATASET
This request obtains information about all data sets recorded in
both the backup control data set and the migration control data set.
In addition, it obtains information about any data sets that have
migrated and been recalled.
LIST DATASETNAME BOTH INCLUDEPRIMARY
This request obtains information about data sets with the qualifier
levelid recorded in the migration control data
set, but only for the data sets on ML1 volumes.
LIST LEVEL(levelid) MIGRATIONCONTROLDATASET -
SELECT(MIGRATIONLEVEL1)
This request obtains information about all data sets recorded in
the migration control data set as being migrated to SDSP data sets.
LIST DATASETNAME MIGRATIONCONTROLDATASET -
SELECT(SMALLDATASETPACKING)
This request obtains a list of all migrated data sets (excluding
PDS and PDSE data sets) that were empty at the time of migration.
LIST DATASETNAME MIGRATIONCONTROLDATASET -
SELECT(EMPTY)
