Using the listvol Function (UNIX)

The listvol VSN function enables FCU users to access the mainframe dataset information without
having to launch the FCU GUI (and use the Help-MF-File command). The listvol VSN UNIX
command displays the dataset information for the specified VSN. The listvol VSN function requires
the Data Exchange volume definition file.
NOTE:
The listvol VSN function is available in FCU for UNIX versions 01-01-41 and later.

The listvol VSN function displays the following information:
• Dataset name. An asterisk (*) before the dataset name indicates that Data Exchange can process
the dataset. A dash (-) indicates that Data Exchange cannot process the dataset. A question mark
(?) before the dataset name indicates that FCU can process the dataset only if the VSE record
option is used to specify the RF, RL, and BL.
• Dataset organization (DO) type: SAM, DAM, PAM, VSAM, ??? = unknown. Data Exchange supports
SAM datasets.
• Record format (RF): F = fixed length, V = variable length, U = undefined length, S = spanned re-
cord, ? = unknown. Data Exchange supports F and V record formats.
• Record length (RL): in bytes
• Block length (BL): in bytes
• TT and R: last block address
• EX (Cyl:Trk): data extent size (number of cylinders:number of tracks)
• Return value: 0 indicates normal end; 1 indicates error end. If an error occurred, the error code
and message are displayed and the error is logged in the error log file.

Creating FCU Parameter Definition Files (UNIX)

To create an FCU parameter definition file using the FCU GUI for UNIX:
1. Start the FCU GUI for UNIX by entering fcu (see
Do not specify the -nw, -nc, or param option.
2. When the FCU main panel opens (see
enter the desired file name in the Parameter File field (with the complete path if you do not want
to save the file in the current directory).
