Is there a utility that can be run in batch to list all of the members in a pds? Ideally it should be able to access multiple pds using a single dd. I looked at all of the IEB* utilities but none of them seem to be able to do this.
I could write a rexx to do a LMMLIST but I was hoping for something simplier. Plus this requires 5 calls instead of 1 (INIT, OPEN, LIST, CLOSE, FREE). The tso LISTDS command will work on only 1 pds at a time.
Any suggestions are appreciatted. |

Uh-oh, you're gonna' get hollered at! This is a no-no question.
I ended up using the REXX approach. |

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this and I have to say what an archaic utility it is. I have to specify the volume that the pds is on. For some strange reason it can't figure this out. This utility must have been made way back before I was born when the mainframe didn't have a catalog and programmers kept a list of dasd volume on their desk. JCL was probably coded onto punch cards. |

| You could also try the LMPRINT service. It's a little less effort than LMMLIST, but it writes the output to the ISPF List data set. |
