Specifying where your results are stored

Use the Listing data set entry field to specify the data set in which the Find/Change Utility results are stored. If you leave this field blank, the output is stored in the data set userid.SRCHFOR.LIST where userid is your ISPF user ID.

The listing data set can be an existing data set (in which case it is overwritten). If it is not, it is allocated for you.
