Link for previous thread (just for reference):-

Question:-

I am working with the IFGRPL macro for supporting Extended VSAM and I could see that the RBA (4 bytes) for the ESDS file is returned in the field RPLDDDD. However, I could not find any field which would hold the extended RBA (XRBA) - 8 bytes.
Does anyone has any direction for this?

Found the solution for this, so posting here to document it.

We can get the extended RBA in the following way:-

SHOWCB RPL=(Rx),AREA=(S,WORKFIELD),FIELDS=(XRBA),
LENGTH=8,.....
