In File-AID/SPF extended utilities,you can find it.
GDG base dataset name: aaa.bbb.ccc
GDG dataset limit: 12 (Maximum number of generations, 1-255)
Active generations: 12 (Generations that are currently allocated)
Owner:
Expiration date:
Uncatalog options: NOEMPTY (EMPTY = All generations are uncataloged
NOEMPTY = Oldest generation is uncataloged
Scratch options: SCRATCH (SCRATCH = Scratch when uncataloged
NOSCRATCH = Uncatalog only) |

| I think MGIndaco meant the LISTCAT command (abbreviated LISTC). |

Hi Prandip, really I mean LISTCA command thru ISPF in option 3.4 
LISTCAT can also be used thru IDCAMS(in background mode)or with command
| Code: |
| TSO LISTCAT ENTRIES ALL |
and after inserting the gdgbase(in foreground mode).
| Quote: |

It's common.
| Code: |
DSLIST - Data Sets Matching Myuserid.gdg Row 1 of 1
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
Command - Enter "/" to select action Message Volume
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LISTCA Myuserid.gdg ?????? |

And if you call it directly?
does this message appair?
| Code: |
| IKJ56700A ENTER POSITIONAL PARAMETER PAR1 - |
If appair and you insert a GdgBase...nothing as:
| Code: |
GDG BASE ------ myuser.gdg
IN-CAT --- USERCAT.TRY
HISTORY
DATASET-OWNER----xxxxxx CREATION--------2005.013
RELEASE----------------2 EXPIRATION------0000.000
ATTRIBUTES
LIMIT-----------------20 SCRATCH NOEMPTY
ASSOCIATIONS--------(NULL) |
I'm really embarrassed with you all...  |

Yes I know the reason of that list...
I think that is a different customizing.... and I want apologize to you
I mean... If you look in SYS1.CLIST you will see all this command that we said... that are abbreviation of other instruction.
In my TSOs(I work in 4 different machine of 4 company) I found the same but, to be clearly, TSO LISTCA or simply LISTCA or LISTC(for Prandip, I suppose) the command that is called is:
| Code: |
| TSO LISTCAT ENTRIES ALL |
and this command require the name of the entry you want to inquiry. |

To know the limit first u have to go to option 6
1) 6 COMMAND - Enter TSO command or CLIST
2) Enter TSO or Workstation commands below:
===> listcat gdg ent('I004.TEST.GDG') all
3) PRESS ENTER
U WILL GET THE DETAILS ......HOPE IT WILL BE USEFUL

Without going in option 6 and other you can also write from everywhere
| Code: |
TSO LISTCAT ENT ALL
<ENTER>
PULL YOUR GDGBASE
<ENTER> |
and you will find the same screen. 
I whant apologize to you for the confusion of my replies. |

Ok, the original from is that of IDCAMS:
From Option 6
| Code: |
| LISTCAT ENT('mybase') ALL |
or from everywhere
| Code: |
| TSO LISTCAT ENT('mybase') ALL |
I must apologize to you again and call my customizer  |
