Re: Finding 'empty' GDG's
I remember that the CSI had this capability. it was fast (probably still is fater than the listxx idcams commands), and gave u the capability to create output file u could feed back into idcams to " DELETE entryname (purge, whatever)" from your little csi program, I am retired now, but if u really want me to write one, u can run on your system, as I dont have a CPU of my own here, at home. we can talk shekels. I think, I wrote 1 a few years ago to delete unused entries at my other gdps site. seems application group did 2-site setup, but never did delete as the production version was archived, and the dual site system was "thrased of the "backup files" - BUT they didn't delete the gdg-bases because they were lazy. anyways i did write the pgm to detect the entries, the output-file was an after thought. i wrote it to "analyze my MCAT and UCAT filesizes, and entries" since it was growing at a alarming rate. I think, now, that it was a subroutine (as I exchaged it for the older "listcat entry output analysis" to the MODERN CSI method of getting the same data for my dual-backup tape system programs. i.e. reproduce all tms(CA1)/ IBM equivalent product (RMM) plus CAT entries and TAPE data (duplicated) to other site and return same inventory to have a fully functional dual gdps tape inventory for disaseaster. it still is working today, 20 years later. no bugs in my programs (C) simple to do, actually, -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

I could use
LISTC ENT('gdgbase') GDG
Or
Use something like a TSO ALLOCATE for a 0 gen and see what it returns? (I
have not tried this)
If zero rc then you have entries. If greater than zero then no entries
then check the output for the ASSOCIATION entries. If there were none,
then it would be empty.
I usually do this in a REXX then it is easier to extract the data I might
want.
Possibly the Catalog Search Interface could also be helpful.

Re: Finding 'empty' GDG's
Another thought would be REXX LISTDSI. Might be easier. By using the
gdgbase(0) it should tell you if there is one GDG out there.
