Finding the Last updated Date for all Members in a PDS

Hi All,

I need to find the last updated Date for all members in a PDS. The PDS has more than 1000 Members, so manually is not possible. Somebody told me that I can use the LMMLIST utility.

Can you tell me how I can do that ? I would like to store the Result in a file.

Thanks.

Inside the PDS give command " Save <Anyname>", ISPF saves the statistics of all the members in the PDS to a dataset called ' %USERID.<anyname>.member'.

This dataset has all the statistics..the modified date for all the members is present against the name of the member in the file....

Its strange nobody answered this...

Regards,
amit.

Hi Amit,

A little more info:

Use 3.4 to select your PDS; display the member list; click on the heading of the "changed" col (this sorts the member list by the changed date); then enter your save cmd. The dataset contains the info displayed on the screen and you get it displayed in the order you're looking for.

You can also use the save cmd to capture the list of datasets displayed with a wildcard request. The DSN in this case ends in ".DATASET".

PS - You probably didn't get the response you wanted because you didn't ask the ques precisely. It's always a good idea to tell us you what kind of solution you're looking for or will accept: COBOL, ISPF, REXX, Utility, etc.
