SC23-6870-00

The following information applies to both SMS and non-SMS-managed data sets.

Task: List selected information from the MCDS and BCDS.

You can issue the HLIST command without specifying any parameters to list all of your migrated data sets. Or, you can list information from the following categories, using the HLIST command:
  • Backup volume information from the BCDS
  • Data set information from the MCDS or BCDS
  • Migration and DFSMShsm-managed volume information from the MCDS
  • User authorization information
The HLIST command can process only one of the four categories at a time. If you specify more than one category, the HLIST command processes the category of the highest order of preference. The following is the order of preference:
  • PRIMARYVOLUME, MIGRATIONVOLUME, or VOLUME
  • BACKUPVOLUME
  • USER
  • DATASETNAME or LEVEL
Note: For examples of lists produced by using the HLIST command, see Sample lists from the HLIST command.
