Data set allocation defaults for the Outlist utility

z/OS ISPF Planning and Customizing
GC19-3623-00

The Outlist utility (option 3.8) is available as either a CLIST (ISRUOL) or a program (ISRUOLP). The default used by ISPF is the program. To use the CLIST instead, perform these steps:

  1. Modify panel ISRUTIL, changing:
           8, 'PGM(ISRUOLP)'
    to
           8, 'CMD(ISRUOL)'
  2. Modify the utilities action bar member (ISPDUTIL), changing:
           <pdc unavail=zut7 acc1=alt acc2=8>Outlist
               <action run=ISRROUTE parm=U8>
    to
           <pdc unavail=zut7 acc1=alt acc2=8>Outlist
               <action run=ISRUOL type=CMD>
  3. Use Option 3.9 to create a command table entry called ISRUOL, specifying this as the action:
            SELECT CMD(ISRUOL)

The Outlist utility invokes the TSO OUTPUT command to retrieve data from the SYSOUT queue. For the browse and print options of this utility, ISPF allocates a print data set and passes its name to the OUTPUT command by means of the PRINT parameter. The parameters in CLIST ISRUOL or the ISPF configuration table for program ISRUOLP determine the attributes of the print data set.

You can modify these print data set attributes to meet the needs of your installation. The default value for each attribute is shown in parentheses:

LRECL (133)
BLKSIZE (3059)
Primary space in tracks (200)
Secondary space in tracks (100)

To change the attributes for CLIST ISRUOL, edit these lines as shown:

ATTR SPFUOL1 BLKSIZE(3059) LRECL(133)+ 
DSORG(PS) RECFM(FB &ZR)
ALLOC DA('&DSN') TRACKS    /*                  */+ 
USING(SPFUOL1) RELEASE     /*                  */+ 
SPACE(200 100) CATALOG     /*                  */

To change the attributes for program ISRUOLP, modify the appropriate fields in the ISPF configuration table.
