Yes. The T-REX LISTCAT could do this for you quite easily. If you want more details, feel free to call/email me directly.

Unfortunately, the jcl is lengthy and runs quite a while because I had to perform the following steps to filter out only the datasets I wanted : STEP1. Perform an IDCAMS LISTCAT UCAT ALL to a dataset to identify all the user catalogs. STEP2. Sort include only the catalog names and reformat the output to format the IDCAMS spread cards LISTC NVSAM HIST CAT [the catalog name]. STEP3. Perform the IDCAMS LISTC from the dataset created in STEP2. STEP4. Perform another SORT against the output of STEP3 and include only the records that contain GDG BASE and reformat the output to format the IDCAMS spread cards LISTC NVSAM HIST GDG ENT [gdg base name]. STEP5. Perform the actual IDCAMS LISTC from the dataset created in STEP4. STEP6. SORT include only the records that contain NONVSAM and STATUS which gives me all the GDG entries and their status. I then perform a search on deferred to find if there are any GDGs in a deferred rollin status. This seems like a lot of rigmarole just to be able to find out what gdgs are in a deferred status. Does anyone have a better/faster/reliable way to do this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
