Chapter 22. EXAMINEThe EXAMINE command analyzes and reports on the structural integrity of theindex and data components of a key-sequenced data set cluster (KSDS) and of avariable-length relative record data set cluster (VRRDS). In addition, EXAMINEcan analyze and report on the structural integrity of the basic catalog structure(BCS) of a catalog.See z/<strong>OS</strong> <strong>DFSMS</strong>: Using Data Sets <strong>for</strong> more in<strong>for</strong>mation on KSDSs and VRRDSs.See z/<strong>OS</strong> <strong>DFSMS</strong>: Managing <strong>Catalogs</strong> <strong>for</strong> more in<strong>for</strong>mation on BCSs.See Chapter 21, “DIAGN<strong>OS</strong>E,” on page 237 <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation on the DIAGN<strong>OS</strong>Ecommand, which inspects the contents of a VVDS or a BCS and looks <strong>for</strong> logicalsynchronization errors.Recommendation: If you are using the EXAMINE command with a catalog, runthe VERIFY command first.The syntax of the EXAMINE command is:EXAMINENAME(clustername)[INDEXTEST|NOINDEXTEST][DATATEST|NODATATEST][ERRORLIMIT(value)]EXAMINE ParametersThe EXAMINE command uses the following parameters.Required ParametersNAME(clustername)specifies the cluster to be analyzed <strong>for</strong> structural integrity by EXAMINE. Youspecify the cluster component you want examined by setting the appropriateEXAMINE parameters.clusternameidentifies the cluster to be analyzed.Optional ParametersINDEXTEST|NOINDEXTESTspecifies whether or not EXAMINE is to per<strong>for</strong>m tests associated with theindex component of the cluster. INDEXTEST is the default.INDEXTESTper<strong>for</strong>ms tests upon the index component of a key-sequenced data setcluster.Abbreviation: ITEST© Copyright IBM Corp. 1973, 2004 245
