Hi guys,

I wish to dump data set information from various catalogued datasets into another dataset for further processing (or using spool). I tried the TSO commands LISTCAT and LISTDS, but sadly enough, these do not provide all the information I'm looking for. :-(

What I really wanted to get was the information shown in the ISPF panel "Data Set Information", invoked with an "I" from the Data Set List (3.4.)

Is this possible to do from JCL? And if so - how? Or is there a better alternative to LISTDS/LISTCAT?

Thanks, Claes

the info in the 3.2 and the I command line from 3.4
is not from the catalog only, but also from the VTOC

look at the ismf options for dataset listings

What I'm really asking is: Is this panel available from JCL?

thats interactive storage management facility
ask Your storage support group how to invoke it from ispf,
it gives lots of reports, the only trick is that the reporting is hidden
in the enhanced acs management options..


Code:

powerful, exhaustive, very good filtering capabilities

or even the option 1 will give lots more than a simple 3.4 from ispf
I did not chech all the columns, but the list has the same details as the 3.2 option from ispf

here is a list of the available columns

I am not sure what specifically you are looking for. Does LISTDSI give what you need?

X = LISTDSI(DSN DIRECTORY)

SYSDSNAME, SYSRECFM , SYSLRECL, SYSBLKSIZE, SYSDSORG, SYSALLOC , SYSUSED, SYSPRIMARY, SYSSECONDS, SYSADIRBLK, SYSUDIRBLK, SYSUNITS , SYSEXTENTS, SYSCREATE, SYSREFDATE, SYSEXDATEE, SYSTRKSCYL, SYSBLKSTRK, SYSUPDATED, SYSMEMBERS, SYSVOLUME, SYSUNIT, …

enrico-sorichetti: Thanks for your efforts, but unfortunately we do not have that option at my site. icon_sad.gif

Douglas Wilder: Yes, I believe so! But I'd need REXX to invoke it, right?

it' s a pity that many organizations choose to ignore tools that are included in the standard distribution of IBM products

to check better ...

from any ispf command line... TSO ISRDDN
again in the command line.... m DGTSMMD1 or m DGTSMMD2

or look in the allocated datasets list for libraries with the pattern SYS1.DGTxxx

and ask Your support to enable the feature

m DGTSMMD1 / m DGTSMMD2 both return "member not found".

We do have these:

SYS1.DGTCLIB
SYS1.DGTLLIB
SYS1.DGTMLIB
SYS1.DGTPLIB
SYS1.DGTSLIB
SYS1.DGTTLIB

the libraries are there,
the only thing to find is the way of getting to the menus

for batch processing You can start by looking at the samples in the library SYS1.SACBCNTL

to get there You could try ( if You have the option ) to go to option 7 ( dialog testing ) and from there

Code:
| Invoke program:                                                            |
|    PGM  . . . DGTFMD01                                                     |

|                                                                            |
|    MODE . . .                       (LINE, FSCR, or blank)                 |
|                                                                            |
| Invoke request:  (GUI mode only)                                           |

| Options:                                                                   |
|    Enter "/" to select option                                              |
|    /  NEWAPPL                      ID . . . DGT                            |
|       NEWPOOL                                                              |

There are 64 members in that library. Can you point me to one of them? I don't know what I'm looking for...

Tried that, got message DGTMD009..?

Code:
                  Invoke Dialog Function/Selection Panel   Message DGTMD009
 Command ===>

one might be SYS1.SACBCNTL(ACBJBAOU)


but to have an idea of what is there You can go to the member list and
type in the command line "S * V"

and You will view one after the other one all the members

Ok, I tried to execute this step:

Code:
//SAVELIST EXEC ACBJBAOB,                                           
//         PLIB1=SYS1.DGTPLIB,                                     
//         TABL2=userid.TEST.ISPTABL                               
//SYSTSIN  DD *                                                     
DELETE DATASET.REPORT                                               
PROFILE PREFIX(IBMUSER)                                             
ISPSTART CMD(ACBQBAI2 SAVE DSNLIST +                               
VTOCDATA(Y) HSMDATA(Y) +                                           
DSN('SYS1.SACBCNTL.**') NOTUSED%(LE 70)) +                               
NEWAPPL(DGT) BATSCRW(132) BATSCRD(27) BREDIMAX(3) BDISPMAX(99999999)
/*                                                                 


Where userid.TEST.ISPTABL was replaced with my actual userid, and the dataset preallocated using ICEGENER and this DCB: DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,DSORG=PS) I'm not sure if that's the correct DCB?

Anyways, I get JCLERR because:
STEP1 SAVELIST ISPPLIB +001 - DATA SET NOT FOUND

Seems as DSN=ISP.SISPPENU (from PROC=ACBJBAOB) does not exsist on my site?

it must be there, otherwise You would not be abe to run ISPF
maybe the name was changed,

check the interactive ISPPLIB allocation by using ISRDDN

Seems you are right:
Code:
TBF001   SHR,KEEP   >    ISPMLIB  SYS3.ISPF.ISPMLIB     
PRI079   SHR,KEEP   >    ISPPLIB  T.POLI.ISP.PLIB       
TBF001   SHR,KEEP   >             SYS3.ISPF.ISPPLIB     
Y1RSX1   SHR,KEEP   >             SYS1.SISPPENU         
Y1RSX1   SHR,KEEP   >             SYS1.SISPGENU         
Y1RSX1   SHR,KEEP   >             SYS1.SISFPLIB         
PRI132   SHR,KEEP   >             SYS3.SHR.ISPPLIB       
PRI059   SHR,KEEP   >    ISPPROF  EDBUCLN.ISPF.ISPPROF   


But how to alter that inside a PROC..?
