The LIBS (Library Task Entries) command lists all frozen libraries, including both server libraries and connection libraries.
Syntax

<wild card>

<delim>
Use one of the following characters
/ \ I ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * '
The first delimiter must be the same as the second delimiter.
<wild-card string>
A string of characters used to search for a task name. The string can include the following special characters.
Character |
Description |
---|---|
Equal sign (=) |
Matches any sequence of characters |
Question mark (?) |
Matches any single character |
Tilde (~) |
Matches any sequence of characters except a slash (/) |
The wild-card string is automatically uppercased, except for characters enclosed in quotation marks, and the system stops processing the string when it encounters a space character.
You can include lowercase characters and space characters by prefixing the wild-card string with LIT and enclosing the wild-card string in delimiters.
For example, if you enter the following syntax, the system returns entries that contain the string "PACK":
LIBS NAME =pack=
If you enter the following syntax, the system returns entries that contain the string "pack":
LIBS NAME LIT^=pack=^

Displays one or all library names that contain the specified wild-card string, including any that were suppressed.
LIBS MCSNAME = <MCS name>
LIBS MCS = <MCS name>
Display only libraries initiated from the specified MCS.
LIBS Q
Shows all libraries that were originally initiated from a job through a job queue.
LIBS Q <job queue number>

Examples
Example 1
This example shows output from the LIBS command:

An asterisk (*) at the beginning of an entry line indicates that the entry is being displayed for the first time. The Mix field gives the mix number of the library stack entry. The Frz (Freeze Type) field shows whether the library is a permanent server library (Perm), temporary server library (Temp), control server library (Ctrl), or connection library (Conn).
The Shr (Shared Specifications) field contains one of the following values.
Value |
Meaning |
---|---|
All |
Shared by All |
Run |
Shared by Run Unit |
Priv |
Private |
The Usr (Users) field shows the number of clients linked to a server library. No value is listed for connection libraries.
The letters SL after the User Count field indicate a support library.
Example 2
This example shows output from a LIBS command that uses the NAME option with a wild-card string:
LIBS NAME=SERV=
