Hi Binyamin! That would work.. the program could avoid even trying the OPEN.
In this case, the OPEN succeeds... and then the subsequent READ (BSAM) gets some bytes, but they aren't valid... I tried looking at DCBDSORG after the OPEN, but it has the value DCBDSGPS (Physical Sequential), since PS was specified at OPEN time. - Thanks! - - Dave Rivers - Binyamin Dissen wrote:
It is not clear what your question is. Are you asking if there is a way to determine if a DD statement is pointing to a PDS without a member name specified?
