Is there a JCL utility avilable to search/scan a PDS to find a non-edited member. I tried going through the posts here,but unsuccessful. can anyone help?
my req. is to find the name of 1 or more pds members in a pds that are not edited. (ie the Size, Created, Changed, ID fields are blank).

any help is appreciated.

cheers

hariavinash,

Open the PDS in edit mode and press PF11 Then you will see a column name VV MM . Place your cursor on that field and press ENTER. The members with 01.00 are the ones you are looking for

Hope this helps...

Cheers

hariavinash,

thanks kolusu and phantom. I am looking for the batch mode processing since my req. is to scan multiple pds for members created by another batch job, which does not have the Size, Created, Changed, ID fields are blank. is this search/scan possible thru a jcl utility to do this bit? thanks.

hariavinash,

You can get the creation date from catalog but updated date and update user id are stored in SMF records. You need to read them using Assembler / SAS / REXX. Unfortunately I don't have the code.

Check this out.

Hello,
i tried executing this piece (in the link below) of REXX code IKJEFT01
http://www.mvsforums.com/helpboards/viewtopic.php?t=1766

but it gives me an error saying

DATA SET userid.name NOT ALLOCATED.
ie. code IF 0<>LISTDSI(DSNAME) THEN
DO ....

i do not know REXX at all.
Can anyone help please.

cheers

hariavinash,

You have to enclose the dataset within single quotes while passing it as parm. You might be having PREFIX setup in your profile. This will automatically prefix your TSO ID when you don't enclose your dataset within single quotes.

Try this way

hariavinash, just a thought.

If you don't know REXX, then why use it? Why not just use the ISPF Library Maintenance services (as suggested by the link) in a program language more suited to your environment?

[hariavinash]

superk,

my req. is to get all the non-edited (ie those without ispf statistics) member names in a pds. including the dataset name in batch mode. ISPF LMS doesnt do wat i want in batch mode. please correct me if i am arong.

reading thru the posts, the link says (shown above) it will do wat i want, and is in REXX. and sadly i do not knw REXX.

If you can point me to any other batch utility that'd be very very helpful.

thank you

Most likely it is simply that the data set name was not in single quotes, but without knowing the input and the exact message, it is impossible to diagnose the problem. If you saw your TSO Prefix or userid appended to the beginning of the dsname, that is what the problem is. Rexx is fairly easy to understand, though this particular program decodes directory blocks which are a somewhat complicated. But you can look up LISTDSI to at least see what is happening there.

By the way, any user running the editor with STATS OFF can create members without statistics also.

The batch utility you can use to print directory entries is IEHLIST. For an example, in ISPF, type TSO ISPMLIST 'data-set-name'

Hi Hariavinash

The command SAVE LIST will help you to get those details.

1. Open the PDS.
2. Enter the "SAVE LIST" command in command line.
3. Your Member details will be stored in the DSN : "ur.id.LIST.MEMBERS"
4. The un-edited members won't have any details in this dataset.
