Kurt, 

I don't recall hitting this same issue when migrating to 1.12, but we do have 
some code that returns a value for the number of files on the tape, if that's 
helpful:  

sysauth.edgdate = "AMERICAN"               /* RMM flag for edg vars*/  
                                                                       
"RMM SD DSN('"BDSN"') OWNER(*) LIMIT(*) STATUS(PRIVATE)"               
                                                                       
If RC <> 0 Then Do                                                     
  Say "Data set" BDSN "not found in RMM database"                      
End                                                                    
Else Do                                                                
  Volser = [email protected]                                                   
  Say "Data set" BDSN "on VOLSER" Volser                               
  "RMM LV " [email protected] "STATS"                                          
  FS = Edg@dsc                       /* Get last file seq nbr      */  
  Say "Volume currently contains" FS "data sets"                       
End

Hello,

I am in the process of upgrading to zos 1.12 and running into an issue. We have 
a rexx that uses [email protected] to determine file placement on a tape for stacking 
files on this tape. [email protected] no longer provides the Physical File Sequence 
Number so I cannot use this to determine how to stack my files on tape.

I was directed to try to use [email protected] to get this information but this does 
not provide the same information as [email protected] used to.

Has anyone run into this issue and if so what are you now using to get the same 
info that [email protected] provided?

Thanks,
Kurt
