Hi,
My requirement is to open the load file using a macro and get the timestamp.
Files with RECFM=U attributes always open in browse mode i guess and using macros do not go with browse operation.
ISREDIT F ALL command also does not work when the file is in browse mode.
Please give your thoughts.
Thanks,
Anand |

Anand,
Start with AMBLIST utility to extract the timestamp.
I don't think you can acheive it by directly reading the load module. |

If you browse the member and issue the HEX On command . You will be able to see the date . It is a field 3 bytes long and looks something like this:
030
41F
day 310 year 2004 |

| Just as an aside, REXX is unable to handle RECFM=U or RECFM=VBS datasets. |

True my point was just that if the data is there and can be obtained manually it must be possible to automate the process. |

Basically true, but you have to start out by using a process that can be automated. You cannot automate it using Browse. |

My requirement is to check if my code is in sync with production code.
(Like audit package option in changeman, I wanted an option in endevor. Posted in CA forum. no replies yet).
As an alternate way, i thought of writing a tool which will trigger daily job to check if the load timestamp has changed. Seems it is not possible to check it in brose mode.
Thanks for your thoughts frnds.. |

Correct, it is not possible in brose mode, nor is it possible in Browse mode.
But you can do it with AMBLIST and using VIEW to examine the AMBLIST output.
You have to have the expected results first, before you can know if the date changed. And if you are going that far already, you might as well see if the size of the module changed. |

| The Endevor footprint extract program (BC1PFOOT) can be used to extract Endevor footprints from an Endevor footprinted dataset. See the Endevor Footprints guide for more information. |

it is either production code or it is not production code.
if it is your code, it is not production code.
If you want to insure that what you are executing is production code,
execute production code
this complete exercise is a waste of time;
the only reason the poster feels the need for this 'check'
is because the poster does not understand Production-code-control.
I have worked in shops where the source was the only thing
that was moved to the production environment.
There everything was again compiled/linked/bound (if db2).
so, timestamps were useless when attempting to compare to 'test'.
the only way to insure that 'your code' is in-sync with 'production code'
is to use production code, and only change what you have to change.

The original request was looking for a method to read an Endevor footprint from an Endevor controlled load module.

Therefore one could use the Endevor utility to compare Endevor footprints and determine if the production code has been modified.

Kevin

Strange, no one mentioned Endevor except you.
