Command Functions
DEFINE PAGESPACE Defines an entry for a page space data set.
DEFINE PATH Defines a path directly over a base cluster or over an alternate index
and its related base cluster.
DEFINE USERCATALOG Defines a user catalog.
DELETE Deletes catalogs, VSAM clusters, and non-VSAM data sets.
DIAGNOSE Scans an integrated catalog facility basic catalog structure (BCS) or a
VSAM volume data set (VVDS) to validate the data structures and
detect structure errors.
EXAMINE Analyzes and reports the structural consistency of either an index or
data component of a KSDS VSAM data set cluster.
EXPORT Disconnects user catalogs, and exports VSAM clusters and
ICF catalog information about the cluster.
EXPORT DISCONNECT Disconnects a user catalog.
IMPORT Connects user catalogs, and imports VSAM cluster and its ICF catalogs
information.
IMPORT CONNECT Connects a user catalog or a volume catalog.
LISTCAT Lists catalog entries.
PRINT Used to print VSAM data sets, non-VSAM data sets, and catalogs.
REPRO Performs the following functions:
► Copies VSAM and non-VSAM data sets, user catalogs, master
catalogs, and volume catalogs.
► Splits ICF catalog entries between two catalogs.
► Merges ICF catalog entries into another ICF user or master
catalog.
► Merges tape library catalog entries from one volume catalog into
another volume catalog.
SHCDS Lists SMSVSAM recovery associated with subsystems spheres and
controls that allow recovery of a VSAM RLS environment.
VERIFY Causes a catalog to correctly reflect the end of a data set after an error
occurred while closing a VSAM data set. The error might have caused
the catalog to be incorrect.
