Hi,
I have a IAM file. I am looking for information about the dataset like buffer sizes etc. I heard I have to use IAMINFO in the ddcard in the JCL to get this IAMINFO report
(Think using IDCAMS, but not sure of the syntax)
Not sure how to use it. Can someone help me with this.
Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Viji

Hello,

IAMINFO isn't part of IDCAMS (at least as far as i'm aware of).

It is part of IAM which is from Innovation Data Processing (the folks who provide FDR). . .

If the IAMINFO report is created automagically like some are, you can just insert a
Code:
//IAMINFO  DD SYSOUT=*
in the step where you want to see the report - the report will only be for that step. Also, if this works like some other tools, it has a unique set of SMF records that may be created and later reported on.

I'm sure you could find much more information at Innovation if you look there.
