I imagine that many here, like myself, are guilty of "scraping" an IDCAMS LISTCAT report using something like REXX to produce information. I do it in a REXX program to recreate DEFINE decks for VSAM data sets which have been lost. I am aware of the IGGCSI00 interface whcih can be used with REXX and other language. I have used it myself in a C program.
But I am wondering if others think that it might be nice to have a program which can write the data in a LISTCAT which is formatted as XML, or maybe even JSON. I am considering writing such a program, which I will put on the CBT. Of course, it will use the IGGCSI00 callable service internally. I am posting this here just to get an idea about how popular (or not) such a program might be. I guess I'm looking for a bit of encouragement that it would be worth my while. -- Schrodinger's backup: The condition of any backup is unknown until a restore is attempted. Yoda of Borg, we are.
