I just tried it from the ISMF "Dataset List" menu item (#1 on the main ISMF panel) and entered just "catlist" on a line next to one of my TSO user files, and it generated an IDCAMS list in a browseable temporary file name. Doesn't seem to be very hard to do.
It does NOT work from the normal 3.4 dataset list, only in the ISMF dataset list. Browsing the CATLIST source it seems to depend on ISPF variables set only by the ISMF panels.

EXTERNAL EMAIL 'DFSMS Managing Catalogs', V2R5, p.59: 'You can list catalog records using the access method services LISTCAT command, or the ISMF line operator CATLIST. CATLIST produces the same output as LISTCAT, but places the output in a data set that can be browsed.' 'DFSMS Using the Interactive Storage Management Facility', V2R4, tells you on p.69 that CATLIST is the name of a CLIST and cannot be abbreviated and describes CATLIST on p.141: 'Obtain an IDCAMS LISTCAT output for a particular data set.' Does anyone know where to find more documentation on how to use the ISPF line operator 'CATLIST', perhaps with an example? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
