CATNAME Command
The CATNAME command is used to define the source catalog for the EXTRACT
command, and the target catalog for the APPLY and REMOVE commands.
Format:
CATNAME=dtfname
where:
dtfname
is the dtfname of the catalog. A DLBL and EXTENT must be specified for the
dtfname.
Note:
• If the CATNAME control statement is used, it must be specified before the
EXTRACT, APPLY or REMOVE commands.
• If the CATNAME control statement is not specified, the default dtfname for
the catalog is CAICATL.
EXTRACT Command
The EXTRACT command is used to extract volume status information and
produce an output file from the input catalog. The output file is created using
dtfname=CAT1OUT.
Format:

Example:
// JOB EXTRACT // JOB EXTRACT
// DLBL CAT1OUT,'DOSVSE.EXTRACT' -OR- // TLBL CAT1OUT,'DOSVSE.EXTRACT'
