Has anyone figured out a way to retrieve the VOLSER from the DSLIST panel?

Mike Nitz,

Listcat will give you volser of the dataset in question.

or choose

Sorry about the confusion, the question I meant to ask is has anyone been able to retrieve the VOLSER from the DSLIST panel using REXX? I have a couple of execs that I run from the DSLIST panel and would LOVE to be able to capture that information.

Mike Nitz,

IBM supplied a rexx exec named IGGCSIRX which is used to call search interface and output dataset names and volumes.

Hope this helps...

That would work, but I can get the same info from LISTDSI. But what if the DSName is uncataloged? Where could I get the VOLSER info then?

Mike, if it's not cataloged, it's not going to be on the DSLIST.
