► List a user catalog connector in the master catalog:
LISTCAT ENT(user.catalog.name) ALL
You can use this command to display the volser and the alias associations of a user
catalog as it is defined in the master catalog. For sample output of this command, see
Figure 6-13 on page 341.
► List the catalog’s self-describing record:
LISTCAT ENT(user.catalog.name) CAT(user.catalog.name) ALL
This gives detailed information about a user catalog, such as attributes, statistics, extent
information, and more. Because the self-describing record is in the user catalog, you must
o specify the name of the user catalog in the CAT statement. If you do not use the CAT
keyword, only the user catalog connector information from the master catalog is listed as
in the previous example. Figure 6-17 shows sample output for this command.

Figure 6-17 Example of a LISTCAT output for a user catalog
► Listing a VSAM or non-VSAM data set:
LISTCAT ENT(data.set.name) ALL
The output for a VSAM data set looks the same as in Figure 6-17 (remember, a catalog is
a VSAM data set). For a non-VSAM data set, the output is much shorter.
You can use the LISTCAT command to list information for other catalog entries as well. For
information about LISTCAT, see z/OS DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs,
SC26-7394.
