Hi,

1)I am using the LISTDS function to retrieve the dataset names.When i give the below file with the wild card,it retrieves the dataset name which matches.But when there is a large number of datasets,the LISTDS function is giving a ERROR CODE OF 80A-10 --->Not enough virtual storage.How to solve this problem?

For example:(File)
P001.TEST.R01.*.P900


Code:
X=OUTTRAP(VAR1.)
"LISTDS 'P001.TEST.R01.*.P900' "
X=OUTTRAP(OFF)
"EXECIO * DISKW OUTDD(STEM VAR1." -->datasetnames are written in this file


Output file(OUTDD)
P001.TEST.R01.D01.P900
P001.TEST.R01.D02.P900
P001.TEST.R01.D03.P900
P001.TEST.R01.D04.P900
P001.TEST.R01.D05.P900


2)Is there is any other way apart from using the LISTDS function to retrieve the dataset names by giving in wildcard format using REXX?



Thanks,
VJ

Hi,
i tried with LISTCAT function and this satisfies my requirement and worked fine without giving any virtual storage issues
"LISTCAT ENTRIES('P001.TEST.R01.*.P900')"

cheers,
