I want to know How to display a PS file primay and secondary allocation ?

I can use listcat entry() to display a vsam file, but not sure how to see the PS file.

Thanks.

when, and how ???
batch, interactively, once in a while ...

ISPF otion 3.4 and scroll sideways, or enter I in front of the dataset!

Hello,

Do you mean that you need the primary and secondary allocation in a program?

Edited: did not notice previous post.

well I' d rather not involve ISPF

if the TS had searched using the same words used to post the request he would have the solution already
hint search the forums with
the tool/language REXX
what primary secondary allocation
search argument crossing the box search for all terms
REXX PRIMARY SECONDARY ALLOCATION

looks like around here associative/data mining logic is a bit flaky

Try LISTDSI function in REXX ... SYSPRIMARY would give you the primary allocation and SYSSECONDS would give you the secondary allocations.. there are lot more information you can obtain using LISTDSI ...
