Hi Friends,

I have some unique requirement. Hope somebody can help me out.
I need to find the "LAST CHANGED TIME" of each member in a given PDS.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME SIZE CREATED CHANGED ID

FILE1 312 2007/04/27 2007/07/26 10:19:00 TSORVAR
FILE2 318 2007/07/23 2007/07/26 09:55:53 TSORVAR
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need to get the last changed time, of FILE1(2007/07/26 10:19:00) and FILE2(2007/07/26 09:55:53).

When I used "LISTDS <DSN name> MEMBERS", I get only the name of the members and the LRECL, BLKSIZE of the PDS.

Hope I am clear. Please help me to come over this.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Hi feellikeneo,

Go to the DSLIST and give i to the left of the dataset.It will give you the last reference date.If you had done some modifications to the dataset.It will show the reference date as the date when you have done your modifications

Hi Prem

The "LAST REFERENCED DATE" will be the last refrenced date of the PDS and not its members.

And also, the last refrenced date will change even if I just open that PDS and close it without changing anything.

So we have to look at some other way..


Cheers,

Hi Moderators,

Sorry that I missed a main note...

I need to do the above task "ACCESSING THE LAST CHANGED TIME OF A MEMEBER IN A PDS" using REXX macro.

Please consider this as a question in REXX and not in TSO/ISPF

Don't think you can find that out. If I recall correctly, not even SMF 15 records go down to member level for update.

Here's a link to help you find what you want

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/ISPZSG60/CCONTENTS?DT=20070722202444

You will need to use LMMLIST to get the information, but take a look at LMMDISP to get the list of variables that you can display.

The last update date and time are available from here.

Hi Expat,

I tried to use the below code,

/*REXX*/
"ISPEXEC LMINIT DATAID(MYID) DATASET 'TSORVAR.TEST3')"
"ISPEXEC LMOPEN DATAID(MYID) OPTION(OUTPUT)"
"ISPEXEC LMMDISP DATAID(MYID) OPTION(DISPLAY) MEMBER(DEMO) STATS(YES)"
SAY ZLMDATE
-----------------

The above code just gave output as "ZLMDATE". Can you please help me on this. May be I am not sure how to use LMMLIST or LMMDISP.

Can you please help me out...

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

I found this on this forum some time ago but I cannot find it now so I will repost it.

Code:

/*Rexx routine to read a pds directory and show the ispf stats     */ 
/*     non load module only.                                       */ 
/* Author: Doug Nadel - 3/31/2001 */

  Return out

leftx: return right(c2x(arg(1)),2,'0')                               

This will give you the last modified date and time along with other information. These fields are updated by ISFP edit, but these members may be modified by other programs without updating these statistics.

"ISPEXEC LMOPEN DATAID(MYID) OPTION(OUTPUT)"                           
DEMO = ' '
RCX  = 0
DO WHILE RCX = 0

Can anybody tell me if this can be done for multiple PDSs. What I mean is instead of a single PDS, if I have a flat file with PDSs as its members then is it possible to have a similar code (REXX Macro) for having the consolidated list as output???

Of course arun, what I mean is, the file will look something like this

1. Name of PDS1
2. Name of PDS2
3. Name of PDS3
4. Name of PDS4

Can I run a loop in REXX so that in its first iteration the I/P is the first PDS
Second iteration second PDS is the I/P

and so on

Hello,

If you post the code you have so far (please use the "Code" tag for readability and to preserve alignment), someone will be able to help get the code working.
