can LISTDSI be used in other user IDs

can anyone help me in using the LISTDSI function in other user IDs.....

if the filename is given in LISTDSI it automatically prefixes my ID so i could not be able to use it on other IDs....

Use list dsi like this:
rtn = listdsi('USERIDX.TEST.COBOL')
Note the use of apostrophe to contain the dataset name.

hi jon_s_rice,

the following is my code...

report = dlist.j /*dlist.j contains the dataset name*/
parse var report hlq1 '.' dsnrep
filename = dsnrep
address ispexec
x = LISTDSI(filename)

as the LISTDSI prefixes my ID i parse and take the filename alone...

but for other IDs how shall i implement the same.... your previous suggestion wouldn't help me.....
