CATALOG, OUTFILE Operands

To write all information in a specific catalog to a data set, enter the LISTCAT command and specify:

The CATALOG operand and enclose the catalog name in parentheses.
The OUTFILE (abbreviated OFILE) operand
- The OUTFILE operand specifies the ddname of the DD statement or the name specified with the FILE operand of the ALLOCATE command, which defines the data set to which the system writes the list of catalog entries. To find out which DD statement defines the data set you want to write to, use the LISTALC command. For more information on how to do this, see Displaying Ddnames and Data Set Disposition.
- When using the OUTFILE operand, enter the ddname or file name immediately after the operand, and enclose it in parentheses.

Example
To write all of the information in catalog USECAT1 to data set CATLIST1.DATA, where CATLIST.DATA is defined by DD statement CATDD, enter: `LISTCAT CATALOG('catalog.usecat1') OUTFILE(catdd)`

If USECAT2 is a password-protected catalog, and the password is VGTBLS, enter a slash (/) and the catalog's password immediately following the catalog name field.

Example
To list all of the information in password-protected catalog USECAT2 at your terminal, enter: `LISTCAT CATALOG('catalog.usecat2'/vgtbls)`
