DSNAME (DSN)


The DSNAME parameter limits VTOC processing to data sets that match a unique dataset name or data sets that match the specified pattern characters. This parameter is valid only with the VTOCDSN and VTOCMAP functions.

The syntax of the DSNAME parameter is:

DSNAME=dataset-name

dataset-name

Name of the dataset or dataset name mask specified with pattern characters.

Example:

$$DD01 VTOCDSN UNIT=3390,DSNAME=+.FASAMP.*

This example displays summary information about and lists the data sets from unit 3390. The DSNAME parameter limits which dataset names are included in the report based on the pattern dataset name. Based on this pattern, File-AID ignores any number of leading qualifiers and displays all data sets with a qualifier of FASAMP.
