John, I'm glad that you have been able to master shell script coding, and Unix tools like awk, sed, grep, etc. You must have bought a lot of those O'Reilly books with all the strange critters on the covers ;-).
I tried too, but I could never get the hang of it. I guess if you don't use it constantly, you lose it. Or maybe this old dog just can't learn any new tricks. But to me, your script looks about as inscrutable as APL. But if this isn't all Greek to Lizette, this could be the way to go. It would probably take me a couple hours to develop a VB program to parse the ISPF listings, something you obviously whipped up in a few minutes. I tip my hat to you! John -----Original Message----- <snip> Looks like you're using ISPF statistics, correct? I'll do my "patent pending" "using z/OS UNIX in weird ways" method along with my normal "pimping" of Dovetailed Technologies free Co:Z product. Install Co:Z Dataset Pipes. http://dovetail.com/downloads/coz/index.html. Run the following UNIX script, which I called "audit.sh" #!/bin/sh for i in "$@";do pdsdir $i |\ tail +2 |\ awk 'NF==6 {print $1 " " $4 "_" $5 " " $6}' |\ sed "s/$/ $i/"; done |\ sort |\ awk 'NR==1 {line=$0; member=$1;} NR>1 && member==$1 {line=$0; member=$1;} NR>1 && member!=$1 {print line;member=$1;line=$0;} END {print line;} </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
