Depends. I would likely use CA-Mastercat to do it. It is like LISTCAT, but faster and can use some wildcards. If you don't have Mastercat, then you'll need to do a LISTCAT on one or more catalogs, then subset. Or you could do something along the lines of: LISTC ALIAS Take the output from that listing to create a series of LISTC LVL(nnnP) control card. I would do this in three steps. Step one does the LISTC ALIAS. Step two reads that listing using REXX, creating IDCAMS control cards. Step 3 then does the IDCAMS. Or step 2 could do the LISTC LVL(nnnP) in the REXX exec itself. There is not a way to do it with standard IBM utilities. Well, REXX is a utility, but you know what I mean. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
