Listing Data Set RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, DSORG, and VOLID

You can list the RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, DSORG, and VOLID of a specific data set by using the LISTDS command followed by a data set name.

Example
To list the attributes of data set PREFIX.PARTS.DATA, enter: `LISTDS parts.data` You then see something like: `PREFIX.PARTS.DATA --RECFM-LRECL-BLKSIZE-DSORG VB 255 5100 PO --VOLUMES-- TSO001`

You can also list the attributes of a number of specific data sets by entering the LISTDS command followed by the data set names enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas or blanks. Or you can use an asterisk (*) in place of any qualifier except the first. When you specify an asterisk, the system searches for all cataloged data sets whose names contain the qualifiers you specified. For instance, if you want to list the attributes of all the data sets starting with PREFIX.TEST, specify LISTDS TEST.* or LISTDS ‘PREFIX.TEST.*’.

Example
To list the attributes of your data sets PARTS.DATA, ART.TEXT, and JONES.CNTL, enter: `LISTDS (parts.data,art.text,jones.cntl)` You then see the attributes for the three data sets.
