- List

- Cataloged Only
- Check to view just cataloged data sets or leave unchecked to view uncataloged ones as well as cataloged.
- Disable Additional Qualifiers
- Use this option to make catalog searching and filtering more consistent with the results produced on the mainframe. Check the option to disable the use of additional qualifiers when filtering the catalog results. For example, when checked, a filter of A.B would only return a data set of A.B. This option emulates the effect of disabling the 'Include Additional Qualifiers' option on the mainframe. When unchecked, a filter of A.B would return all data sets starting A.B, as if A.B** had been entered.
