Re: Need some FDR help please
Hey Neil, We did get the dataset list from FDRABRP and we are working with that. I would have liked to restore all dsn except VSAM, but we are finally making some progress . From your note, it looks like we had some of our control syntax twisted, so will work with your updates in the AM. We only have FDR/FDRDSF, no FDReport.

Re: Need some FDR help please
Linda, This is from Innovation. As suggested by Dave O'Brien, program FDRABRP with the command PRINT TVTOC will show you the disk data sets that are backed up on any backup created by the FDR system (whether the backup was taken by FDR, FDRDSF, or FDRABR). Although program FDRABRP is part of the ABR component of the FDR system, the base program and the PRINT TVTOC command are shipped with all FDR distributions, because this command is useful as a diagnostic tool. When you later do the restores, be sure to specify NOCAT to indicate that the restored data sets should not be cataloged. The default is to catalog them. Of course, NOCAT is ignored if the data sets are VSAM, or are being restored to an SMS-managed volume, which I suppose is why you are going to restore to non-SMS and why you want to exclude VSAM.

Re: Need some FDR help please
Thanks to all! I finally found the FDRABRP program and we got it run. Now I need to restore PS and PO (these tapes predate PDSE), excluding VSAM, no catalogue updates allowed, non-SMS DASD volume and new high level qualifier. Most of our DASD is non-SMS. I am excluding the VSAM because to the nature of the 'treasure hunt'. I am looking for some source code for exits, usermods, some of our older assembler modules, and a number of sysprog libraries that belonged to my predessor.
