Issue/Introduction
How can I display the current CA File Master Plus CAWAOPTS options?
Resolution
The current CA File Master Plus CAWAOPTS options can be displayed by using a CA File Master Custom Record Layout (CRL) and the data structure defined in a COBOL copybook.
The following can be used on your own risk.
The structure may change by an APAR, PTF or a new release/version of CA File Master.
The real, current structure can be seen when assembling the CAWAOPTS macro.
This is a COBOL copybook example which was tested with release 12.0 in October 2020:

This is the CRL example:

Change the layout DSN and the member name - which contains the COBOL copybook.
The layout offset can be different. It could be 480 or something else. Usually it starts after IEWP:
