I have a long, dynamic list of DASD volume names that I would then like to generate a list of dataset names from by volume. I can do this by having a job generate a job, but those tend to turn into a bit of a maintenance problem.
For example. (first step, create all the IEHLIST control cards for the volumes I need listings for. Place in &&IEHTEMP) //LISTVT1 EXEC PGM=IEHLIST //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //VOLDD1 DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=WORK01,DISP=SHR //SYSIN DD DSN=&&IEHTEMP,DISP=(OLD,DELETE) // I can generate the IEHTEMP input dataset in a prior step for all volumes I want, but within the same job, I cannot dynamically create the VOLDD1 pointers to use. I can have this job submit a second job, but I was hoping to avoid that. I can use our scheduler to create a job precedence and that is what I will probably do if there is no dynamic way to get the data. The job bombs if I leave the VOLDD1 card out and just have a list of control cards. LISTVTOC FORMAT,VOL=3390=WORK01 LISTVTOC FORMAT,VOL=3390=WORK02 ... Is there any utility that will create a list of DSNs on a volume that does not require a DD card pointer to that volume? I don't need DCB or other info. Just the Dataset name. I also don't want to miss any special not-catalogged datasets on the volume. Thanks in advance.
