FMN.INDEX.SYSTEM             System libraries 
FMN.INDEX.JCL                JCL libraries  

ISPF option 6 is used to allocate the reference list as follows
ALLOC FI(FMNLIDXS) DA(‘FMN.TASKS.REFS(IDXLIST)’) SHR REUSE
Note: This can be done using any number of methods including FMNELIBD (which canbe customized to specify an FMNLIDXS value), logon commands, or via TSO logon procedures.
Enter the XFind I command and blank out the data set name.
