Description
The INQUIRE SUBPOOL command returns information about a particular storage subpool.
Browsing
You can also browse through all the storage subpools in the region using the browse options (START, AT, NEXT, and END) on INQUIRE SUBPOOL command. In browse mode, the definitions are returned in alphabetic order of subpool name. You can specify a starting point anywhere in the full range of subpools using the AT option. If you want to see all the subpools with names beginning with a certain string of characters, for example, you can start your browse with an AT value comprising those characters, padded on the right with nulls (X'00') to make up the eight characters.
See Browsing resource definitions for general information about browsing, including syntax, exception conditions, and examples.
