I am still running z/OS 1.13 and the MVS "DISPLAY SYMBOLS" will only display "Static" system symbols, it does not show what dynamic symbols are available Same with TASID & SHOWZOS, they only show the "Static" symbols. FYI: IPLINFO from Mark Zelden, only shows Static. Don't know MXI.

I tried the SDSF SYM command suggested earlier, but SDSFAUX is not running on our system so it fails. If it matters, we are z/OS 2.1 here.
