You can use any personal data set list to create complex lists of z/OS® UNIX files and directories, similar to those displayed using ISPF option 3.17 (the z/OS UNIX Directory List Utility). The easiest way to use a Personal Data Set List to create a z/OS UNIX list is to type UDLIST listname on an ISPF command line (listname is the name of the personal data set list). ISPF uses each pathname entry in the personal list to build the displayed list of files and directories.

Note that a pathname containing glob characters is permitted in a personal list.
