DYNCAT Commands
OWner=
Optional parameter. Specifies the tape ownership code to be assigned to this
tape. If selected, this tape may only be used for datasets with matching
ownership codes. A valid entries are:
cc
NO
1 to 2 alphanumeric characters.
No ownerid specified. This will leave blank spaces in this
field.
VOLser=
Optional parameter. Specifies the volume serial number to be written on the
tape and placed in the Catalog. A valid entry is a 1- to 6-character volume
serial number (may be enclosed in parentheses), consisting of letters and
numbers ONLY no special characters allowed.
VOLSER numbers that are not acceptable are ACCEPT, CANCEL, all zeroes
(000000) and all blanks.
If this parameter is not specified, the tape is read to determine its volume
serial number, and the operator is prompted to verify the accuracy of the
VOLSER found.

1 The tape on drive 280(SYS006) is initialized with the volume serial number
011256. It is flagged for cleaning after 100 tape errors. It is initialized at
1600 BPI and is a long tape.
2 This initializes the tape on 281 with the volume serial number 718. It will
not have a tape error threshold or a length code, and it will be initialized
with the recording density set in the VSE supervisor for this tape drive.
LISTCAT Command
Use the LISTCAT command to report upon each of the various entries in the
Catalog, either individually or as a whole. LISTCAT requires no external work
area and does not enqueue the Catalog while accessing it. A separate LISTCAT
command must be submitted for each type of record to be reported upon.
For more information about sample reports produced by using the LISTCAT
command, see the chapter "CA Dynam Report Example."
