LISTC is a short form for LISTCAT command. LISTCAT enlists entries from catalog for the specified dataset.

You can also try the same command on your TSO session.

Code:
TSO LISTC ENT('DATASET.NAME')
TSO LISTC ENT('DATASET.NAME') ALL


Try and see...[/code]

Superb. Thanks Priyesh.

I would like to ask you another question as it just came up.

What is the difference between CATALOGED PROCEDURES and UNCATALOGUED procedures ?

I have been trying to read books but am not able to get a clear picture of what it means ?

Can you help please.

Regards.
