I just submitted this RFE this morning that will address this issue (if/when):
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=134932 Note that there is another RFE for a LISTDSI enhancement for which the developers asked for more input so that implies they may be open to updating LISTDSI and if the code is open why not do multiple RFE's 😊 Lionel B.

I know that you don't like CSI, but IMHO that's the best way to go. Postprocessing the LISTC output is easy, but will break if IBM changes the format. In the long run, have you considered asking IBM for a CI enhancement to allow both generation and member in DSN, or to allow relative generations in LISTDSI? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
