Required inputs are

  • a library as defined in UEDTB1 or ULIBID or a DSN (+Vol for uncataloged datasets);

  • One or more SCAN arguments separated by ",".

You may also specify if you require an exact match (case sensitive) or not, and a print destination if you wish to see the result on a printout.

There is also a CGI version of this utility (WSCAN) to get the results in a browser window.
