As Kirk pointed out, you can determine that information from the Format 1
DSCB in the VTOC.
If you have MVS/QuickRef installed there, the DSNLIST report that it

I have used this JCL to open a VTOC to read it:

The VTOC might be adjacent to track zero, but I am not sure the DEB for an

If you define a new session to QWS3270 and specify the name or IP address
