Just use ADAREP with no parameters - it will report on all files.

Since you are using MODE=MULTI, you can probably omit the DEVICE parameter. If not, DEVICE=3390 is fairly common. The output of the ADAREP will include the DEVICE assignments.

From your JCL, your DBID is probably 1. DBID=1.

Your JCL is set up to write the report (DDDRUCK) to a temporary file, not to the printer.
