Syntax

SHOWCATALOG [listfile] [;USER=username [.acctname]]

Parameters

listfile

An arbitrary file name that identifies the output from SHOWCATALOG that is sent to the line printer. Specifying listfile sends the listing to device class LP (line printer). You may use a file equation to direct the listing of the catalog to a disk or tape file. If you omit this parameter, the listing is sent to the $STDLIST device.

USER

Permits the user to list other users' cataloged files. Account manager capability (AM) is required to show cataloged files for users within your logon account. System manager capability (SM) is required to show users' cataloged files in other accounts.

username. acctname

Specifies the user and/or account name whose file names are to be displayed. The @ wildcard character may be used to specify all the members of a set:

 USER=username
USER=username.acctname
USER=@.acctname
USER=@.@

Operation Notes

This command lists user-defined command files, their commands and the level at which they were cataloged (user, account, or `system). This may not be the executing UDC catalog directory, as with the USER option. The user may specify a listfile to send the listing to the line printer. You may use a file equation to direct the listing of the catalog to another disk or tape file. Default is that the listing is sent to the $STDLIST device.

If SETCATALOG is performed with the USER option after the user logs on, the user's executing UDC directory is not affected. Only the UDC catalog set is affected. The next time the user logs on, the UDC directory is built from this set. Thus the SHOWCATALOG command with the USER option shows the UDC catalog set. The SHOWCATALOG command alone shows the currently executing UDC directory commands.

Use

This command is available from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break aborts the execution of this command.
