Code:

ADDRESS ISPEXEC                                                       
DSNLEV = 'HLQ1.HLQ2.HLQ3'                                     
J = 1                                                                 
I = 1                                                                 
"LMDINIT LISTID("LSTID") LEVEL("DSNLEV")"                             
DO WHILE I < 12                                                       
  "LMDLIST LISTID("LSTID") OPTION(LIST) DATASET(DSVAR) STATS(YES)"   
  DATA.J = DSVAR                                                     
  SAY DATA.J                                                         
  J=J+1                                                               
  I=I+1                                                               
END                                                                   


I Used the above to get the list of datasets starting with above mentioned DSNLEV , but i want to run this in batch and need to write the output to file.

Well, each call of LMDLIST will populdate the variable DSVAR with the name of a dataset. Just write that information out each time.

You can use OPTION(SAVE) instead of OPTION(LIST).

For more information about LMDLIST, please refer to the fine manual.

Ok, I used OPTION(SAVE) and GROUP(DSNAME). Could you please tell me how to run this in Batch? Is there a way to do this in batch?

Yes, there is a way to do this in batch, by initiating an ISPF environment in batch.

Search ISPF BATCH using the search button above and you will see at least one example of running ISPF in batch.

Since LMDLIST will create the same dataset over and over again (depend on your GROUP value), I recommend using IEFBR14 as a delete-step before running LMDLIST.
