Earl, had a quick look at my toolboxes. Use the CSI (CatalogSearchInterface) described in "DFSMS Managing Catalogs" to get the information required. A few examples can be found in SYS1.SAMPLIB(IGG*). Another, more old fashioned method would be using the OBTAIN macro, Google will be your friend if needing a few examples. Christian

I'll be back in office tomorrow night (CET+1) and have a look at my toolboxes. Eventually could you tell me exactly what you want to achieve?

What I guess I should ask is where does the information contained in the SYSDSSMS and SYSSEQDSNTYPE variables returned by the LISTDSI function in REXX come from? Or the corresponding information in the DATASET INFORMATION panel of ISPF? They both seem to produce similar results (although the ISPF panel seems to do it more consistently). I'm working on a REXX function that doesn't have the TSO dependency that LISTDSI has.
