I get a message stating that striped data is not supported. I suspect this is related to the VSAM dataset being extended format. I will do more testing. Lennie

So, the PRINT function of ADRDSSU does not satisfy your needs? Are you wanting to just browse the DASD volume by tracks or do you know an area on the DASD that you actually want to look at? //*==================================================================* //* ----------------------------------------------------------- * //* | +-,0,c1,max head #--------------+ | * //* +---TRACKS----(--c1--+-------------------------------+--)-+ * //* +-TRKS---+ | +-,c1,max head #-------+ | * //* +-,h1--+----------------------+-+ * //* | +-,max head #-+ | * //* +-,c2--+-------------+-+ * //* +-,h2---------+ * //* * //* TRACKS specifies ranges of tracks to be printed. * //* c1,h1 * //* Specifies the cylinder and head number of the beginning of the * //* range.

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).
