ISMF and scroll right/ left
ISPF 3.4 followed by an I in front of a dataset

the question is too generic for a good answer!

Why not use LISTCAT and write a program (in REXX, COBOL, SAS, assembler, PL/I, or whatever) to parse the LISTCAT output and capture the data you want?

You could also use the LISTDSI function in Rexx
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

as far as ISMF You did not care to investigate the NAVIQUEST ( batch ISMF execution ) approach

dcollect is just a data collector, You will have to do the reporting on Your own
and You will be able to get the reports in any format You might like
You have two possibilities
google for DFSORT DCOLLECT and You will find a link that will take You where You can download the examples
to save some of Your precious :evil: time I did it for You and here is the link

the other one is to look at the CBT tape tools collection
http://www.cbttape.org/cbtdowns.htm and meditate on file 206
