Restrictions:

You must have use (*USE) authority to the library where the binding directory is located.
You must have object operational (*OBJOPR) and read (*READ) authorities to the binding directory.

Binding directory (BNDDIR)

Specifies the binding directory to be displayed.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Binding directory

name: Specify the name of the binding directory to be displayed.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL: All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.
*USRLIBL: Only the libraries in the user portion of the job's library list are searched.
name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Output (OUTPUT)

Specifies whether the output from the command is shown at the requesting work station or printed with the job's spooled output.

*: Output requested by an interactive job is shown on the display. Output requested by a batch job is printed with the job's spooled output.
*PRINT: The output is printed with the job's spooled output.
*OUTFILE: The output is directed to the database file specified on the OUTFILE parameter.

File to receive output (OUTFILE)

Specifies the database file to which the output of this command is directed. If the specified file does not exist, this command creates a database file in the specified library. The public authority of the file is the same as the create authority specified for the library in which the file is created. The record format of the output file is the same as that used in the IBM-supplied database file QABNDBND and record format QBNDSPBD.

Qualifier 1: File to receive output

name: Specify the name of the database file that receives the output of the display.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL: All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.
*USRLIBL: Only the libraries in the user portion of the job's library list are searched.
name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Output member options (OUTMBR)

Specifies the name of the database file member to which the output of the display is directed. If a member already exists, and *REPLACE is specified, the system clears it and adds the new records. If the member does not exist and a member name is not specified, the system creates a member with the name of the file specified for the File to receive output (OUTFILE) parameter. If a member name is specified, but the member does not exist, the system creates it.

Element 1: Member to receive output

*FIRST: The first member in the file receives the output. If OUTMBR(*FIRST) is specified and a file member does not exist, the system creates a member with the name of the file specified on the OUTFILE parameter.
name: Specify the name of the file member that receives the output. If the member does not exist, the system creates it.

Element 2: Replace or add records

*REPLACE: The system clears the existing member and adds the new records.
*ADD: The system adds the new records to the end of the existing records.

Examples

DSPBNDDIR   BNDDIR(STORE)

This command displays a binding directory named STORE.
