Which is why REXX has variables!  Set the "magic numbers" once, in one place 
and reference them by variable name.  If the value changes, update the variable 
setting and nothing else needs to be changed.  Talk about "magic"!  :-)>

I have written several REXX programs that use the Catalog Search Interface 
(CSI, aka IGGCSI00).  I figured out early on that a lot of the code for setup, 
processing, and error decoding could be done with a set of common routines that 
could be used in every REXX program that I create that uses CSI.  That way, I 
only have to code the unique parts for the particular processing I want to do 
and then include the common code.  Yes, you have to code offsets and/or lengths 
for each Catalog Field you want to process, and those are documented in the 
manual.  (DFSMS Managing Catalogs).

The CSI Common Code and the REXX programs that use are not completely 
independent of each other, (that is some variables need to be set in the main 
program and used in the CSI Code some are set in the CSI Code and used in the 
main program.  Their are also two routines that must be defined in the main 
program that are called from the CSI Common Code.  The routines must be named 
PROCESS_ENTRY:  and ENTRY_ERROR: (The CSI Common code will Call PROCESS_ENTRY 
for every Catalog Entry returned, PROCESS_ENTRY then Calls the correct routine 
to process that entry.  I set it up that way to allow multiple Catalog Entry 
types to be processed in a single program.

Here is a working example of a REXX program I wrote (GDGINFO) that uses CSI to 
extract and display information on one or GDG Catalog Entries.  The REXX 
program expects the GDG DSN as it's only parameter.  The DSN specified to 
GDGINFO must contain at least one period.  It can be a full DSN, like 
XXXXX.A.B, or a prefix like XXXX.  It can also contain wildcards, like 
XXXX.*.YYYYY or XXXX.userid.**  CMDOUT is where the output is written to.  It 
can be written to SYSOUT or a data set.   GDGINFO can be run in TSO Batch 
(CMDOUT default to SYSOUT) or under TSO/ISPF (CMDOUT goes to a temporary file 
that will be viewed.  Here is some sample output from GDGINFO XXXX.

Ownerid is set to "*" if no owner is defined.  Limit is how many generations 
are allowed.  Defined is how many generations are Cataloged.  000 means no 
generations are currently Cataloged.  Alter-Date is the last date that a 
generation was added or deleted.  NEVER means that no generation was ever 
created for this GDG.  EXTENDED/NOEXTENDED indicates whether the GDG allows a 
maximum of 255 generations (NOEXTENDED) or a maximum of 999 generations 
(EXTENDED).

Common Code will go.  I'll include the CSI Common Code after GDGINFO:

I know this is long post, but I hope it will be helpful to the OP and to anyone 
else that wants to write REXX programs that extract Catalog information using 
CSI.  If anyone has questions about the code, either post them here or email me 
directly.  If you want to see other examples, let me know that also.  

FYI, we used the output from GDGINFO to help get rid of many unused GDG 
definitions!
