Of course, I can do this easily with foreground ISPF; DSLIST; Info. But I had set myself the goal of doing it all in a _simple_ (self-contained) batch job so I could post here a refutation to the doubter. Why does MVS make simple things so damned hard!? OK. Here's the hybrid solution; batch JCL: // //EMPTY JOB 505303JOB,'Paul Gilmartin', // MSGLEVEL=(1,1),REGION=0M //* //USERC OUTPUT JESDS=ALL,DEFAULT=YES, // CLASS=R,PAGEDEF=V0648Z,CHARS=GT12 //* //STEP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //SYSUT0 DD DISP=(MOD,DELETE),UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(0,1), // DSN=&SYSUID..TEMP.ALMOST.EMPTY //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(0,1), // DSN=&SYSUID..TEMP.ALMOST.EMPTY // (de)allocation messages: IEF142I EMPTY STEP - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000 IEF285I user.TEMP.ALMOST.EMPTY UNCATALOGED IEF285I VOL SER NOS= TSO022.
