In TSO, when I give the first qualifier/text as "FILE" in 3.4 and press ENTER, it would display all the list of dataset/PDS names starting with qualifier/text FILE. Where it would display the contents like VOL, TRACKS, %USED etc. And I can save this info by giving "SAVE filename" in COMMAND prompt, where it would save that info in "id.filename.DATASETS".

Can some one please let me know the equivalent code in REXX ?

Thanks in Advance.
Dubasi.

See the LMDLIST service with the SAVE option. Or if you are going to use the data in a program, use LMDLIST without the SAVE option.

Look at LISTDSI. This should give you what you need

LISTDSI only gives info on 1 dataset at a time. The original poster wanted lists of data sets matching a specification.

see also 'SYS1.PARMLIB(IGGCSIRX)' (in which case LISTDSI would be useful since the catalog does not have reliable DCB info).

But LISTDSI functions only for Sequential Datasets and PDS's. It doesn't work for VSAM files. Please let me know if you find any alternate for the same.
Thanks, Dubasi.
