Thanks, all. Yeah, I know about putting a "code" into the name. There are of course complications to doing that.
I really want something "like" LISTCAT so SMF is not the answer. I will pursue other approaches. (Yes, I should have said "non-VSAM.")

Of course, if you want date/time stamps the other option (not my favorite) is to bury it in the DSN if you need real-time like information. If you can wait for the SMF data, you can pull from there. HLQ.Ttime.Ddate.etc.... Or create a meta database in your app that when you create a dataset, you log it. But NON Vsam does not have a lot of bells and whistles without a lot of exits and work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
