Displays installation defaults (DEFAULTS Operator)


DEFAULT operator displays the DFSORT installation defaults in a separate list file.

Syntax -

listing for file -

  DEFAULTS LIST(listdd)

listing for file with parameters -

  DEFAULTS LIST(listdd) LISTSDB
OR
  DEFAULTS LIST(listdd) LISTNOSDB

Required Operands


  • LIST - specifies the list dataset ddname to be created by ICETOOL LIST operation. ICETOOL uses RECFM=FBA, LRECL=121, and the BLKSIZE should be multiples of 121 for the list file. If the BLKSIZE is not coded, ICETOOL selects the block size as required by LISTSDB or LISTNOSDB. If LISTSDB or LISTNOSDB are not coded, BLKSIZE is selected according to the system installation option.

Optional Operands


  • LISTSDB - specifies to ICETOOL that the BLKSIZE should select as the system-determined optimum block size for the LIST file in the same way as for installation option SDBMSG=YES.
  • LISTNOSDB - specifies to ICETOOL that the BLKSIZE should select as the system-determined optimum block size for the LIST file in the same way as for installation option SDBMSG=NO.

Example -


Scenario - Displays the DFSORT installation defaults to the list dataset.
