Jai Prakash,

what are FFT files? Never heard of them . on mainframe you only have a Fixed or variable files.

FFT files are tape files.
The below JCl I used for to print the LRECL of VB files.

//STEP010 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=AAAAA.BBBB.FFT.OBHF1.G0001V00
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY,
STOPAFT=1
/*

and SYSOUT getting abend ABENDU0016
SORTIN RECFM IS U

Jai Prakash,

Sort products do NOT support datasets with RECFM=U. Usually these are load modules and they are undefined.

Try this fileaid step
Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=FILEAID                       
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                             
//SYSLIST  DD SYSOUT=*                             
//DD01     DD DSN=your fft file,
//            DISP=SHR                             
//DD01O    DD SYSOUT=*                             
//SYSIN    DD *                                   
$$DD01 COPY OUT=1                                 
/*               


Hope this helps...

Cheers

If your tapes are standard label tapes, then the following might help you.

The standard tape label is FB 80, hence the RECFM / LRECL used below.
Code:

//PRINTLBL EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD DSN=your file name,DISP=OLD,
//            LABEL=(1,BLP),
//            RECFM=FB,LRECL=80
//SYSUT2   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD DUMMY

expat,

Hmm I think OP's question was to find the DCB properties of the file.

Jaiprakash,

Hopefully this will work for you or maybe this is custom for the shop I work in, at any rate to find out information about a tape, I:

1). 3.4 in TSO
2). FILE Name & ENTER
3). Type TMS beside the file name (tape) and hopefully you will see the TMS Inquiry Display screen shown below which has all of the desired information.

Code:

TMS      I.V565.G0208V00                          T123456




Code:



-------------------- T M S   I N Q U I R Y   D I S P L A Y --------------------
 COMMAND ===>                                                                   
                                                                                 
  ENTER VOLUME SERIAL ==>                                                       
                                                                               
     VOLUME SERIAL    = T123456                                                 
     INTERNAL VOLSER  =                                                         
     DATA SET NAME    = I.V565.G0208V00                 
     NUMBER DATA SETS = 0001     VM USERID =                FTI WO = 000372     
     VOLUME SEQUENCE  = 0001    MVS USERID = A0BHGL        OUTCODE =           
     ACCESS CODE      = 03           EXPDT = CATALOG       OUTDATE = ZEROS     
                                                                                 
     CREATING JOBNAME    = XXXXXXXX                 STEPNAME       = YYYYYYYY   
     CREATION DATE       = 04/12/2007               CREATION TIME  = 1311       
     LAST JOB USING TAPE = CCCCCCCC                 LAST DATE USED = 04/12/2007
                                                                                 
     LABEL = SL      DENSITY = 38KC     TRTCH = 3490 36TRK                     
     RECFM = VB      LRECL   = 06666    BLKSIZE = 27998     BLKCNT = 000248     
                                                                               
     FIRSTVOL =                  NEXTVOL =                 PREVVOL =

samlwho,

TMS is not a standard IBM command. It is a command for an add-on product for Tape Management system. Unless Jaiprakash has TMS installed he will not be able to use the command

Yep, and that's exactly what the IEBGENER does. It prints the information which is stored on LABEL1 and contains the RECFM LRECL & BLKSIZE data. LABEL2 is the data and LABEL3 is EOD.
