Hi, In answer to the question -
"Thanks. But will RENAME work with an uncatalogued data set? I pondered it, and assumed it wouldn't, since there seems to be no way to supply volser information." My mistake I had somehow forgotten to take into account the fact that the requirement was to use a non-catalogued data set, and the manual definitely states that RENAME only works with catalogued data sets. Any problems with LISTDSI may arise from the fact that it seems to suffer from the "stabilised" syndrome as per the IEB utilities. To be pedantic RECFM, LRECL and BLKSIZE are not available via the TIOT, so LISTDSI relies on either: a) The fact that the file is catalogued to locate it and retrieve information from the DSCB b) Alternatively the file is allocated to the session by a DD statement from which the DSCB can be derived. I had jumped the gun a bit in my earlier suggestion.
