Why not trying the LMMSTATS service?

Why can't you search for the term LMMSTATS?

as ofer said...search in this forum for examples about how to use LM services...
ZLCNORC is the variable you're looking for

but beware, if ispf statistics are missing then You will get nothing,
and You will have to find an alternative way to do it

in that case you could edit the members and get the ZLAST variable

An alternative method is to use SUPERC and compare a PDS to itself (that is - provide the same PDS name in NEWDD and OLDDD). The listing includes the members list and line numbers of each.

SUPERC can be invoked in forground, in batch or programmatically from within REXX, CLIST, COBOL etc.

You can use SORT, but it has to be on each individual member.
Use SORT FIELDS=COPY, and DUMMY the SORTOUT.

I have a REXX EXEC that will list every member of a PDS that I will be happy to share with you if you would like. That could automate this process a great deal.
