How do you search the directory for the members in the PDS Library?

To see the directory of a PDS Library, you need to type M against the name of the Partitioned Dataset(PDS). The M Command tells the MVS Operating System to display the directory of the Partitioned Dataset(PDS).

Suppose, you want to see the directory(List of all the members) of the Partitioned Dataset(Library) AGY0157.DEMO.SRCLIB. Then, type an M against its name in the DSLIST Utility ISPF Menu 3.4 screen.



Upon hitting the Ctrl Button, you get to see the directory of the Partitioned Dataset(PDS) AGY0157.DEMO.SRCLIB – you can see the entire list of members in the PDS.



Generally, you will keep your program, jobs, REXX scripts assorted in Libraries or Partitioned Datasets(PDS). Here, I have stored all my COBOL Programs in this library.
