hi,
how can i save the list of "dataset names" available to a dataset.
lets say i have 1000's of files with the name A.S*.*
using ispf option 3.4 i can list all of those but i would like to have that list written to a dataset. i tried option 'P' in 3.4 but i dont understand where exactly the list is printed. kindly suggest what needs to be done.

See number 2 here.
Then, see here to determine the name and/or status of the LIST dataset. |

Enter on cmd line:
SAVE ax
where: a is any alpha char and x is any 0 to 7 A/N char string.
The list will be stored in a PS dataset named: yrTSOid.ax.datasets
To save PDS member lists do the same, changing "datasets" to "members". |

Hi,
Can we do this in batch? We need to have a batch job which needs the member list for a given dataset and no manual intervention is required. |

You can use the ISPF service LMMLIST/LMDLIST with OPTION(SAVE) in batch.

odd, if You have ispf then You can write a rexx using the ispf services...
LMMLIST and friends are not ready made things
are just services to be invoked by a ... script ( rexx,clist) or a program |

| By the way if you need a list starting with
as asked in very first post, might be you can use IDCAMS in batch. I assume "A" is HLQ here. |

The original instructions were:
| Quote: |
| The list will be stored in a PS dataset named: yrTSOid.ax.datasets |
But more correctly, it should say 'yourprefix':
| Quote: |
| The list will be stored in a PS dataset named: yrPrefix.ax.datasets |
Very frequently, the userid is used as the prefix, but you can choose a different prefix if you want. Use the PROFILE command. From the ISPF command line:
to see your prefix. |
