Ed, I don't consider this exceptionally ideal, only normal practice. In our systems, all datasets are SMS managed and therefor cataloged. All tapes are supposed to be cataloged and in fact, we have no processes running with uncataloged tapes. Even tapes coming from our TPF systems are administrated in the CA1 TMC and cataloged in the catalogs, so they can also be processed them as normal, cataloged datasets.
Hillario does not mention what his normal situation is and if he needs to be able to handle exotic circumstances, but if not, I consider IDCAMS LISTC the right tool. Kees.
