Hi,

I ahve a requirement where i need to get the creation date of datasets. I have been using LMDLIST for this purpose. But i just found out that for migrated datasets it doesnt return the ZDLCDATE....unfortunate for me.

Does anyone no how to get the creation date of a file even if its migrated?

thanks

After getting the LIST of all the datasets using LMDLIST add a statement to recall all the datasets and then get the creation date.

given the appropriate parameters it will collect data also from the MCDS

Hi,

I implemented it using LISTC command. Thanks Devzee for this useful opinion that LISTC could even the migrated datasets information.

The code used for those who may need to reuse it.

Hy,

read what enrico-sorichetti is talking about,
he is absolutely correct.
if you don not know about DCOLLECT, then
read more thru the manuals... :-)

if the datasets are not on disk, you will not get the
information required by LISTC or something equivalent, ok?

regards,
