Mike,

Thanks for your thoughts.
Yes, I realise I could use such a mechanism with maybe some REXX to generate 
CCHHR values to use with DFDSS Print (rather than AMASPZAP which does not 
support extended format data sets). The CCHR values could even be found from an 
IEHLIST VTOC report. But what I really want is a simple method to display via 
ISPF (preferably) or in batch in a single step if not; i.e. a recognisable 
utility that just does what I want (yes, I know I am picky).

So far, DFDSS is the only thing that comes close, but it insists I print the 
entire data set, and so produces a *lot* of output (actually far more for 
encrypted data sets than for unencrypted data sets, as there are no repeated 
lines).

I have a very dirty way of printing only the start of a dataset but it stinks. 
(Print to a data set of 1 track only, let it suffer a B37 and then have a 2nd 
step to copy to a spool dataset with EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=EVEN).

Lennie,

The DISKMAP utility (file 792) from cbttape.org will give you a map of a
DASD volume in CCHHR sequence. You could use that map to get CCHHR values
to use with AMASPZAP.
