Action options are used to specify what task 'dsarch' executes. No values are allowed to follow Action options. Multiple tasks may be processed with a single execution of 'dsarch' depending on what Action option is chosen. Some of the comprehensive actions include automatically other simpler actions as default; and others include additional actions when certain Mode options are present. Multiple Action options provided simultaneously are blocked.

Some actions are setting information into and some getting information from RDADB for a given dataset. A using DSARCH flag must be set to 'Y', 'I', 'P', or 'W' per Info option -UD (-UseDSARCH) before setting actions can be executed for a dataset.

Based on the information being manipulated, the actions are divided into seven categories:
