Hi There,

Goto 3.4 and type in the GDG name. Press Enter.
Then where u give B for Browse , E for Edit .. type in LISTCAT ENT(/) ALL and press ENTER.

Or
The ISPF Dataset Utility (=3.2) can generate the LISTCAT command for you and then execute it.

Take option 3.2

Enter the name of the GDG base and take option V (VSAM Utilities).

Under "Process Request" take option 3. Under "Data Type" you can leave it blank or take option 4 and hit enter.

On the next screen make sure there is a (/) slash next to "Edit IDCAMS command". Under "Name, History, Volume, ALLOcation, All" put ALL and hit enter.

This will generate a LISTCAT command essentially the same as used above:
</font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">/* IDCAMS COMMAND */
LISTCAT ENTRIES(ZZJR001.TEMP.GDG) -
GENERATIONDATAGROUP -
ALL </pre>[/quote]Then enter the EXEC command to execute it.

Hope this will helpful
