The first one that comes to mind is SMP/E, which produces a summary of data sets used, but lists only first catenands. (I wonder what HLASM does?)
Ideally, there should be a generally callable service which returns in a reply buffer a formatted abstract of DDNAME characteristics: (UNIT, VOLSER, DSNAME, etc.; or, for an HSF file, pathname, not "PATH= SPECIFIED."; for all catenands) and could supply uniformly formatted information for both applications' summaries and SMF reports. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
