TEST—LISTDCB subcommand operands

address

specifies the address of the DCB that you want displayed. The address must be on a fullword boundary. You can specify address as:

An absolute address
A symbolic address
A relative address
An indirect address
An address expression
A module name and entry name (separated by a period)
An entry name (preceded by a period).

FIELD(name)

specifies one or more names of the particular fields in the DCB that you want to display at your terminal. The segment name is not printed when you use this operand. If you omit this operand, the entire DCB is displayed.

PRINT(data_set_name)

specifies the name of a sequential data set to which the data is directed. If you omit this operand, the data is directed to your terminal.

The data format is blocked variable-length records. Old data sets with the standard format and block size are treated as NEW, if they are being opened for the first time. Otherwise, they are treated as MOD data sets.

If PRINT(data_set_name) is specified, use the following table to determine the format of the output.

If the data_set_name is not specified within quotation marks, the descriptive qualifier TESTLIST is added.

If your record type was:	Fixed, fixed blocked, or undefined		Variable or variable-blocked
Then it is changed to variable-blocked with the following attributes:	Recordsize 125	Blocksize 1629	Recordsize 125	Blocksize 129

Record and block sizes greater than those specified in the preceding table are unchanged.

The specified data set is kept open until:

The TEST session is ended by a RUN or END subcommand, or
A LIST, LISTDCB, LISTDEB, LISTMAP, LISTPSW, LISTTCB, or LISTVSR subcommand is entered specifying a different PRINT data set. In this case, the previous data set is closed and the current one is opened.
