P — print data set list

z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II
SC19-3628-00

Use option P to print a data set list. You must:

  1. Enter one of these:
    • One or more data set name level qualifiers in the Dsname Level field and a volume serial in the Volume field. The list will contain all data sets for the specified levels and volume. Only the specified volume is searched. See “Dsname Level” and Volume serial for more information.
    • One or more data set name level qualifiers in the Dsname Level field, but leave the Volume field blank. The list will contain all data sets for the specified levels that are cataloged.
    • A volume serial in the Volume field, but leave the Dsname Level field blank. The list will contain only the data sets on the specified volume. Only the specified volume is searched.
    Note: All data set lists are formatted the same when they are printed. Therefore, values entered in the Initial View field have no effect when you use option P.
  2. Press Enter to print the data set list. The data set list is stored in the ISPF list data set.

ISPF displays a progress status pop-up panel when the necessary information to perform a P (print data set list) command has to be retrieved and the data set list comprises 50 or more data sets. The keyboard locks when this pop-up panel appears and stays locked until the P command is completed. This happens regardless of the setting of Display Total Tracks option and the value entered in the Initial View field.
