In addition to what others have replied, tools like FDREPORT, Catalog RecoveryPlus, T-REX, Catalog Solutions and the good old free Catalog Search Interface (CSI) can do this VERY fast. See SYS1.SAMPLIB members: IGGCSILC IGGCSIRX for examples you can use. CSI is much, much faster than ISMF or 3.4.
Bob Richards -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Fake Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 4:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Extract listing of production datasets I have a need to generate a listing of all production datasets. The way the production datasets are identified is via the 4th byte of the high level qualifier. If the 4th byte is a P, it is production. For example: EGMP.DATASET.ONE and DNUP.DATASET.ONE are production. EGMT.DATASET.ONE and DNUT.DATASET.ONE are test, etc. What is the easiest method to identify and extract to a flat file these production dataset names?
