Introduction

Displays a file Data Definition (DD).

How to use

In interactive use, the LIST command will display the file DD in an identical format to that provided by DDLIST. However, within a macro, DDLIST should be used for this purpose, as it is not possible to stop LIST displaying all the file records following the DD.

If an index file is input to DDLIST, then the DDs of each of the indexed files will be displayed in turn.
