Hi All,

Can you please help me if we can get file creation date and file name in a output file?

EX:-
DSN : X.Y.Z >>> Creation date 20090515
DSN : A.B.C >>> Creation date 20090513

I need to get these dataset names as well creation dates in a output dataset...

//IN DD DSN=X.Y.Z,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=A.B.C,DISP=SHR

//OUT DD DSN=M.N.Q,DISP=(NEW,CATLG)

M.N.Q SHOULD HAVE THE RECORD

X.Y.Z20090515A.B.C20090513 >>> RECORD

I've probably got a REXX code archived somewhere

This is for batch mode, you will need a CATIN DD * statement to select the HLQ etc.
You can use full * ** % %% functionality in the CATIN DD *.
Code:

/* REXX **                                                           */
 "EXECIO * DISKR CATIN ( STEM CAT. FINIS"
 DO KCNT = 1 TO CAT.0
 KEY = SUBSTR(CAT.KCNT,1,44)
MODRSNRC = SUBSTR(' ',1,4)
CSIFILTK = SUBSTR(KEY,1,44)
CSICATNM = SUBSTR(' ',1,44)
CSIRESNM = SUBSTR(' ',1,44)
CSIDTYPS = SUBSTR(' ',1,16)

CSIFIELD = CSIFILTK || CSICATNM || CSIRESNM || CSIDTYPS || CSIOPTS
CSIFIELD = CSIFIELD || CSINUMEN || CSIFLD1
WORKLEN = 64000
DWORK = '0000FA00'X || COPIES('00'X,WORKLEN-4)

CATNAMET = SUBSTR(' ',1,44)
DNAMET = SUBSTR(' ',1,44)
DO WHILE RESUME = 'Y'
 ADDRESS LINKPGM 'IGGCSI00  MODRSNRC  CSIFIELD  DWORK'

   IF SUBSTR(DWORK,POS1+1,1) = '0'
    THEN DO
         CATNAME=SUBSTR(DWORK,POS1+2,44)
         IF CATNAME ^= CATNAMET THEN
          DO
           SAY 'CATALOG ' CATNAME
           SAY ' '
           CATNAMET = CATNAME
          END
         POS1 = POS1 + 50

   ELSE IF SUBSTR(DWORK,POS1+1,1) = 'U' THEN DTYPE = 'UCAT    '
   ELSE DTYPE = '        '
    POS1 = POS1 + 46
    POS2 = POS1 +  6
    TES01   = C2X(SUBSTR(DWORK,POS2,4))

mazahar,

The following JCL will give you the desired results


Code:

//SYSTSIN  DD *                                   
  LISTCAT ENT('X.Y.Z') ALL           
  LISTCAT ENT('A.B.C') ALL

Skolusu Thanks a lot,

But i dont think we can use IFTHEN in our org, because i am getting the below error when i submit it.

wer251a Include/Omit invalid self def term
wer268a Inrec statement : syntax error
wer275a No Keywords found on control statement


As well, we are passing dataset names in SYSIN in the job which you have provided, actually my job needs to run in prod, i cant edit sysin daily, can i pass the names of datasets to sysin in any other way? i mean my input data sets are GDG's which will get created by my upstream, once GDG version is created, that latest version needs to be processed and same ones NAME and Creation date needs to be printed on a report.

Skolusu has given a DFsORT solution, your product is SYNCSORT. Although similar products, there will be differences between syntax and functionality.

DFSORT installed here, but the REXX code works perfectly well.

I believe that is correct syntax for Syncsort. . .

I suspect your system is not running the current version of Syncsort.

You need to post the complete informational output from the failed run.

Dick, Skolusu

I made a stupid mistake, now its fine. It gave me what exactly i require.

Thanks a lot.

And one more thing,

I am giving dataset names in LISTCAT ENT manually, Cant we make it with a symobolic or something else to pick my job input data sets automatically?

For future reference, i'll wager there is more in the sysout than only those 3 messages. . . Your control statements will be repeated and at the top of the page is almost surely the version release information.

When we ask for the complete info, we really do mean the complete info, not just some subset you choose. . .

Would you mean something like this?
Code:

//  SET HLQ=X                               
//  SET NODE2=Y                         
//  SET NODE3=Z
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,                   
//   PARM='LISTCAT ENT(''&HLQ..&NODE2..&NODE3'') ALL'

Just to clarify, the date returned from LISTCAT is the date the catalog entry was created. This may not be the same as when the dataset was created. An uncatalog/recatalog process could alter the date.

Douglas,

When i give
// SET FILE1=X.Y.Z
// SET FILE2=A.B.C
PARM='LISTCAT ENT(''&FILE1..&FILE2'') ALL'

its taking file names as X.Y.Z.A.B.C and giving me Invalid file name

if i give

PARM='LISTCAT ENT(''&FILE1&FILE2'') ALL'

its taking file names as X.Y.ZA.B.C and giving me Invalid file name

if i give

PARM='LISTCAT ENT(''&FILE1 &FILE2'') ALL'

its taking file names as X.Y.Z A.B.C and giving me Invalid file name

Can you please tell me exact PARM for IKJEFT
