Details

ASL lists information about specified segments stored on the database (FILE). ASL compiles three types of reports: Brief, Short, and Full (defined by LTYP). By default, ASL produces a Short listing of all segments on the database file. Subsets of segments can be listed by specifying appropriate values for ASLT.

ASL only prints a summary of information for each segment on file. To print the actual contents of these segments, run the following programs:

In addition, ASL saves, in the IMSTAT output parameter, the segment numbers found that match conditions set by ASLT.
