Radoslaw, other than what other mates have said (LIST command or REXX) you could also issue the UNLOAD DDDEF command, which creates a flat file with all DDDEFs in the specified zone. There are a couple of nice tools from Rob Scott's web page http://www.mximvs.com/ named DDDEFCHK and DDDEFPTH which could also help to reach your goal. HTH.
