John, could you try to use the catalog interface (IGGCSI00) and do a request for the current generation with something like ABC.XYZ(0)? I would think you would then get back the fully qualified name.

[EXTERNAL] I just don't see any _simple_ way to do this. I need to convert the gdgbase(0) into gdgbase.GnnnnVnn absolute. Believe it or not, I have a product which creates a number of PDS libraries (not PDSE) which are GDG. I want to generate some JCL which is the equivalent of: //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=GDGBASE(0)(MEMBER) Which is a JCL error. -- A sine curve goes off to infinity, or at least the end of the blackboard. -- Prof. Steiner Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: This message originated outside your organization.
