Action options are used to specify what tasks 'dsupdt' executes. No values are allowed to follow Action options. Multiple tasks may be processed with a single execution of 'dsupdt' 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. Execute 'dsupdt' for one Action as a time, and multiple Action options provided simultaneously are blocked.

Some actions are setting information into and some getting information from RDADB for a given dataset, and others are allowed to work on multiple datasets if dataset number is omitted.

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