CBT Tape is a good option, either File 112, which is a VTOC TSO command, File 343 VTOCLIST, for batch. They should be easy to try and see if one format is better than the other for what you want.

Box 112050 Gainesville, FL. 32611 (e) [email protected] (p) (352) 273-1298 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Thigpen Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 11:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: VTOC reporting We are in the process of upgrading an older OS/390 system. During a review, it was identified that we are using IBM DITTO for just one job and management has asked me to eliminate it if possible. It is the process which lists the VTOC for all volumes and stores the report off-site. The DITTO output is better formatted and lest voluminous than is given by IEHLIST output when using the FORMAT option. The non-FORMAT option of IEHLIST does not have some of the stuff that we think would be helpful in a DR situation. I am looking for any suggestions that don't involve additional costs. Either off the CBT tape or elsewhere. Or, maybe another IBM utility that I don't know about. -- Tony Thigpen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
