Listing Device Status: Example 6

In this example, a listing of device status for all devices within a subsystem is requested.

     //LISTDAT5  JOB   ...
     //STEP1     EXEC  PGM=IDCAMS
     //LISTVOL2  DD    UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=VOL269,DISP=SHR
     //SYSPRINT  DD    SYSOUT=A
     //SYSIN     DD    *
       LISTDATA DSTATUS SUBSYSTEM FILE(LISTVOL2)
     /*

The LISTVOL2 DD statement specifies a 3390 unit for which device status is reported. The LISTDATA command parameters are:

• DSTATUS, which specifies that a device status report is printed.
• SUBSYSTEM, which specifies that a Device Status report includes status for devices within the subsystem.
• FILE, which specifies LISTVOL2 as the DD statement that allocates a 3390 unit and volume VOL269.
