Display VTOC panel
The Display VTOC panel is the entry panel for the Work with VTOC utility. In this panel, you can specify a data set name or name pattern, and the disk volume or volumes with which you want to work.
Panel and field definitions
- Data set name
- Can be a fully-qualified data set name or a pattern. The data set name is not a required parameter. When no data set name has been entered, Z Data Tools uses default generic data set name of ** which eventually resolves to 'userid.**' limiting the selected data sets to the files with names starting with the current userid.
- Volume serial
- A fully qualified or generic volume serial number.
In a generic volume use the percent % sign to represent a single character, and an asterisk * to represent any number of characters within one qualifier. Two asterisks ** represent any number of characters within any number of qualifiers.
- Volume status
- A fully-qualified volume status string (can be abbreviated). Can
be one of the following values:
- PRIVATE (also includes PRIV/RSDNT)
- RESIDENT
- PUBLIC
- STORAGE
- ALL (default)
- Unit
- A fully-qualified or generic device address (unit). In a generic name, use the percent sign (%) to represent a single character, and an asterisk (*) to represent any number characters within one qualifier.
- Device type
- A fully-qualified or generic device type (DEVTYPE). In a generic
name, use the percent sign (%) to represent a single character, and
an asterisk (*) to represent any number characters within one qualifier.
For example, to list only volumes on 3390 devices, specify
3390
. - SMS SG
- A fully-qualified or generic SMS storage group name. In a generic
name, use the percent sign (%) to represent a single character, and
an asterisk (*) to represent any number characters within one qualifier.
In an SMS environment, the reserved name,
NONSMS
selects a non-SMS controlled volume. - Batch execution
- Generates JCL to run the function in batch and then displays the JCL for editing. Use Set Batch Job Card Information (option 0.4) to tailor the default JOB card that Z Data Tools uses to generate the JCL. See Set batch job card information (option 0.4).
- YY/MM/DD date format (default: YYYY.DDD)
- Uses the YY/MM/DD date format instead of the default format of YYYY.DDD.
- Limited information for VTOC list
- If this option is selected, when you choose to display a VTOC list ("V" on the command line), Z Data Tools does not collect data set statistics for the volumes processed and "N/A" is shown for the data set statistics on the Disk Volume Details panel. Select this option for better performance.
- Processing limit
- If this option is selected, the number of data sets selected for VTOC processing is limited to the number specified. The default of 0 allows for no limit on the number of data sets selected.
