Appendix B. Interpreting LISTCAT Output ListingsThe various LISTCAT command options allow you to select the LISTCAT outputthat gives you the information you want. This appendix provides information onthe structure of LISTCAT output if you use certain options. Fields that can beprinted for each type of catalog entry are listed and described.Each catalog entry is identified by its type (for example: cluster, non-VSAM, data)and by its entryname. Entries are listed in alphabetic order of the entrynames,unless the ENTRIES parameter is used. The entries are then listed in the order theyare specified in the ENTRIES parameter.An entry that has associated entries is immediately followed by the listing of eachassociated entry. That is, a cluster’s data component (and, if the cluster iskey-sequenced, its index component) is listed immediately following the cluster.The associated entry is excluded if type options (CLUSTER, DATA, SPACE, and soon) or a generic entryname list are specified.This appendix has three parts:LISTCAT Output Keywordsvvv“LISTCAT Output Keywords” lists all field names that can be listed for eachtype of entry.“Description of Keyword Fields” on page 365 describes each field name within agroup of related field names.“Examples of LISTCAT Output Listings” on page 376 describes and illustratesthe LISTCAT output that results when various LISTCAT options are specified.This section lists the field names associated with each type of catalog entry. Eachfield name is followed by an abbreviation that points to a group of related fielddescriptions in the next section.
