Hi Kolusu,

I have a requirmeent to find out the RETPD of some datasets and I don't know what job has created them. Is there any utility that can display RETPD information. Will that be possible by list command in IDCAMS. Please let me know

Thanks
Anand

Anand_R,

It takes less than 2 mins to run LISTCAT command.

LISTCAT may not help for tape datasets. Your tape management software probably has some type of inquiry interface (online or batch) to display the CRTDT and EXPDT by volume. Ask around the office.

Thanks Kolusu & Bill

I did not know that I can use LISTCAT for sequenetial files also, I was under impression it can be used only for VSAM files.

Thanks for your help
