Re: REXX file information question
From the Rexx Reference on LISTDSI. filename the name of an allocated file (ddname) about which you want to retrieve information. file you must specify the word FILE if you specify filename instead of data-set-name. If you do not specify FILE, LISTDSI assumes that you specified a data-set-name.

Has BPXWDYN the capability to extract characteristics of an existing DDNAME? I'm familiar only with its ability to return DSNAME, VOLSER, and/or DDNAME when allocating a new DDNAME? Again, I suspect that LISTDSI( DDN 'file' ) finds the associated DSNAME and extracts information from the VTOC.
