Changed column in PDS

karthi_ind · Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 12:21 pm

Hi all,

I have a requirement like open a particular PDS and check the changed column
for current date and list out the elements of current date.

With this element list I have to compare a list of elements available in
spreadsheet and find out the matched elements of both.

I am doing it manually and is there any way to do this using rex or Sort logic.
Atleast taking the elements of current date from a particular PDS.

Thanks

the requirment is as below

if you goto PDS using 3.4 you can see many columns like

name created changed ID

and this changed column will have date. So I need the elements which has been changed recently (i.e. current date).
After taking the list of elements from this PDS which has current date I
have to compare this list with another list of elements which is available in
spreadsheet. This comparision has to find out the matched elements and
finally it should list out the matched list of elements which has been changed on current date.

If comparision with spreadsheet is not possible atleast I need some sort logic or Rexx program which will take the elements from the PDS of current date. Pls help me on this.

Thanks
Karthik

Hope the requirement is clear now....

There are many examples in the REXX forum showing how to extract ISPF PDS statistics (if they exist).

But, based on the level of your knowledge
(displayed by your questions and responses)
I suggest that you continue the manual operation.

If you have a deadline (of say less than 6 months),
The manual operation will be much quicker
than the time required for you learn enough to automate this process.

furthermore if in the member list You issue the command "SAVE "
the member list will be saved in a dataset that You can unload to the WS
and process as You like
