Hi,

Is there is anyways to write the name of the member of a PDS to PS.

For ex, let WORK.EXAMPLE.LIB be a PDS consisting of 100 members.
My query is to write all the members name in to a PS.

thx,
Arun..

In TSO, there's the LISTDS command:

TSO LISTDS 'WORK.EXAMPLE.LIB' MEMBERS

In ISPF, Using the Library Management (LM) Services, the LMMLIST service will create a member list.

Of course, you can always use the PX (PRINT INDEX) command when viewing the PDS in ISPF OPTION 3.4 (DSLIST).

You can also use the SAVE command from within 3.4

PX is part of ISPF, and is well documented in the fine manual.

Also, according to the ISPF User's Guide, PX in DSLIST (ISPF 3.4) is the same function as X in Library (ISPF 3.1).

Hi Selvamani,

After giving PX it will show you


Code:
  WORK.EXAMPLE.LIB       Index Printed


press f3 it will show you

Code:
Command ===>                                                           
                                                                       
List Data Set (TBH2.SPF4.LIST) Disposition:                             
Process Option . . . .    1. Print data set and delete                 
                          2. Delete data set without printing           
                          3. Keep data set - Same                       
                             (allocate same data set in next session)   
                          4. Keep data set - New

I'm not sure why you're having a problem doing a simple task that most ISPF users do day-in and day-out.

On top of the LISTDS TSO command already mentioned, you can also try using the PRINTDS TSO command:

Code:

TSO PRINTDS DATASET('THE.PDS') TODATASET('THE.PDS.DIR') DIRECTORY

Hello,

To use this, i'd recommend going to TSO =6 (command). There is more room to type - many places have long dataset names.

I haven't done this one in a while, but I think it goes like this (just chime in if I get it wrong):

Display the members you want via 3.4

In the cmd line enter: SAVE my100 (use any 1 to 8 char name)

A dataset containing the contents of the ISPF display screen is created w/the name "yrtsoid.my100.member" (or members?)

You can do the same thing with a 3.4 dataset list except the last node of the DSN is .dataset
