IGGCSI00 is only for doing the equivalent of a LISTCAT type function. You could call IDCAMS itself, with I/O exits to feed it the required commands as if they had come from SYSIN. Or you might want to set up a TSO environment and invoke the TSO commands.
If you want to do the former (call IDCAMS using I/O exits), you can download file 864 from http://cbttape.org/updates.htm . It is some UNIX commands, one of which is called "ams" which uses IDCAMS with I/O exits to implement a z/OS UNIX command which prompts the shell user for IDCAMS commands and returns the result. The package is in standard CBT format (zip of an XMIT of a PDS). But the source is in a member in the PDS which is the output from a "pax" command. Which means that the reload job, included in the package, restores to a z/OS UNIX subdirectory. You can then use ISPF option 1 or 2 to list this subdirectory and then edit/view/browse the source code (in file ams.s) for an example. Another possibility (not sure) is to set up a TSO environment in your code using IKJTSOEV and then invoking a REXX program to issue the TSO commands. I don't know if this will work. And, IMO, it is "inelegant". -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
