Consider the merits of ISPF LMDLIST (akin to ISPF 3.4) in batch REXX (or LISTCAT) for generating a dataset list based on a specified DSN prefix. There are REXX source code examples available on the Internet -- use "The" Google and search for +lmdlist +ispf +rexx +dataset to find some examples.
Sincerely, Scott Barry SBBWorks, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Steely Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2007 2:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: z/OS V1R7 We upgraded to z/OS V1R7. We have a program which retrieves a list of gdg's and produces an output file which has the gdg's in the proper sequence for concatenation. The program is now abending with a SOC4. I do not have the source and I am not sure if this was written in-house or a share ware code. The eye catcher in the load module says it was assembled in 1989. I am assuming the program is performing some type of listcat and reading through the output to find the gdg's. I think IBM has made some changes with the listcat output and this is causing the program to abend. I am sure there is a system parm which makes this program obsolete. I am not sure what the option is. Does anyone have a program which does this and could provide the source. Any help would be appreciated.
