key list
A structure defined by the SW01SR DSECT that contains the displacement and length of logical record (LREC) key fields, a comparison operator, and values to compare the fields against. The key list is used to locate records that match the specified criteria. A key list provides the same function as the KEYn parameters. However, only key lists can be used for default keys on read operations, Boolean operators with keys, and global modification of LRECs. See also default-key key list, modification key list, selection key list, and sort/merge key list.
