Aquarian,
Datasets / GDGs stored in physical Tape cannot be viewed directly. You need to copy them to local datasets using SORT or any other tool and then browse / view them.
Thanks,

"a GDG or Tape entry" can u be clear about this
is it GDG base or version
in 3.4 you can browse the GDG versions.
tape entry can be copied into a dasd and use 3.4.

I am not clear with your request...What do you want to see in the Base entry ? Using Base, you can only view the particulars of that GDG (total number of generations allowed, number of active generations, Scratch/Empty parameters....). For this you can use File-Aid / ListCat.
But in the next line you say, you want to view the content. What does this refer to ? data in all generations ???
Thanks,
Phantom |

Aquarian,
To see data in all generations, you cannot issue a browe/edit over the Base. You need to copy the contents of all generations into another dataset and then view them. Try the following jcl
| Code: |
//R010 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=YOUR.GDG.BASE,
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=YOUT.NEW.PS,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*
|
Note:
In the above JCL, I used only the Base name in SORTIN. When you don't specify any versions like this, the data in all active versions will be concatenated together (one after the other) and written to the output. This is not specific to SORT, its the funda of JCL.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Phantom |
