and how to list all the catalog names on my system?

Ask someone in your shop what the high level qualifier is for your master catalog. The same with the user catalogs. In our shop MCAT and UCAT. You can also look at a dataset and find out what the name of the catalog is. If you look at SYS1.PARMLIB it is almost always cataloged in the master catalog. If you look at any one of your datasets they should be cataloged in a user catalog. Here is an example to look at a dataset:
TSO LISTCAT ENT('dsn') ALL

Once you know the master catlg name, do a LISTCAT ALL on it and look for entries with type USERCATALOG.

For catalogs that are open..
If you have authority you can issue the system command F CATALOG,OPEN
The shareware products MXI and SHOWMVS both will list that info as well as a ton of other information.
