Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

Restricts the list of snapshots based on the snapshot type and status.

You can specify multiple filters that are separated by a comma. For example, SNAPSHOT_LIST(SECURE,LINKED) displays snapshots that are both secure and linked. Specifying filters that are opposite in their meaning (for example, ACTIVATED and NOT_ACTIVATED) is not allowed and results in error message EMCP035E.

The SNAPSHOT_LIST parameter can be specified on the GLOBAL and QUERY SNAPSHOT command. It has a matching site option &SNAPSHOT_LIST.
