Hi,
We may not able to get the date directly from program .
U can do listcat on GDG and get the date and write in the GDG header record .
In the program take the date from header record .

we can able to check the properties of GDG by
using 'LISTC ENT(GDGNAME) ALL' in a command line.

you just try with this command in the 'SYSIN DD' of program.

Hi,

U r right .
Listcat will work but the output has to be sorted a lot.
that is again a prob.

so I wrote a simple sas code to get creation date.

n this working fine now .

Thanks every one ....
