Hi,

Here is my requirement. I want to save all the datasets starting with a particular string, say 'DDX.CN.IA1.*' in a file and i want to do it through REXX.

Like we do 3.4 and then type 'DDX.CN.IA1.*' and press enter, it will give us the list of all the respective datasets. We can do 'SAVE LIST' and save all these dataset names in a sequential file. I want to do this whole thing through REXX.

Hi
The easiest way is to use "LMDLIST" which is described in the ISPF Services book.
You can call ispf sevices through rexx by using:
Address ISPEXEC ....
Check the manuals for details.
