Hi,
I want to get the 'Dataset Information' of a dataset onto a file to my desktop. (preferabaly notepad). Is there code to get that onto my desktop. I've attached a screen shot of my dataset information. It's named as 'CPEP.CAPACITY.MONTHS'. I want to get 'Allocated Cylinders'., 'Allocated Extents', ' Used Cylinders', 'Used Extents' onto a text file on my desktop.

I don't know how your site configures your desktops, so I can't comment as to the availability of FTP services.

You might want to use the ISPF Transfer Option (ISPF Option 3.7).

RohithRaj,

Try to LISTDSI the dataset and capture the output.
For further details try to search LISTDSI in the forum.

Please search forum for your other requirements

Regds,
Prem

Can you give me the full command of using LISTDSI???

LISTDSI TSO/E REXX function or, the ISPF DSINFO Service.

Check you terminal emulator it may have a macro facility that will let you pick data from the screen and write it to a dataset. Or just use cut and paste.

I dont want to cut and paste the information on 28 datasets everyday onto a excel and do the analysis.
If there is a means to get that onto a memebr in my library, I can do the rest.

Does LISTDI needs to be in a REXX program???
or is it a line command?

It's a REXX (or CLIST) function. The only closely related TSO/E commands that I can think of are LISTCAT and LISTDS.

Many choices available

SAVE command in data set list
LMDLIST loop in Rexx or CLIST
'SYS1.SAMPLIB(IGGCSIRX)' and other CSI callers
LISTCAT (outtrapped or fom IDCAMS)
other utilities (ISMF, etc)

LMDLIST probably right for you + ispf workstation agent

My Dataset is multi volumed (see the screen shot), and when i execute LISTDI, the out put I get is
FUNCTION CODE FROM LISTDSI IS: 4
THE DATA SET NAME IS: CPEP.CAPACITY.MONTHS
VOLUME SERIAL ID IS: 1SCP85
DATA SET ORGANIZATION: PS
PRIMARY ALLOCATION IN SPACE UNITS: 1219
SECONDARY ALLOCATION IN SPACE UNITS 100
THE ALLOCATION IN SPACE UNITS IS: 4300
TRACKS PER CYLINDER FOR THE UNIT IDENTIFIED 15
USED SPACE IS 4300
NUMBER OF EXTENTS ALLOCATED IS 3

So please tell me what code I should use to list all the allocated primary and secondary.

1. Issue LISTCAT command of TSO to get the list of volids.

2. issue LISTDSI function with the optional VOLUME(1SCP85) parameter, for each of the volids that you find.

3. total the space information yourself.
