Reporting on the Catalog
Catalog File Definitions−FILEDEFS
The FILEDEFS report is a standard, catalog-based, DSN-entry DYNPRINT
report supplied with CA Dynam. It provides overviews of file definitions found
in the CA Dynam Catalog. Information is based strictly on the default settings
for each file, not on characteristics of specific versions of a file. FILEDEFS
prints one line of data per file.
Specific features let you do the following tasks:
• Print in seven different formats, emphasizing the category of interest to
you.
• Report on tape files, disk files, or both.
• Limit the report to an arbitrary number of files.
• Report on any CA Dynam Catalog.
Reports are always sorted on file-id.
The FILEDEFS report has no equivalent among the older CA Dynam reporting
utilities. However, the information provided is similar to that reported by the
DYNCAT LISTCAT ALL command. For more information, see Data Set
Attributes. The advantage of FILEDEFS is that you can decide which
categories of information to report on. Each category is summarized on a
single line.
