The ISPF Data Set List Exit gets invoked once after the Data Set List
Utility Panel is filled in and then again for each data set that is
about to be displayed in the list.
The first invocation provides an opportunity for the exit to change the
data set name and/or the volume.
The subsequent
You can look at the hex contents of the file on the unix system with the od
(octal dump) command. On my system, I use
od -x -N 500 filename
to look at one screen's worth of data at the front of the file. (Beware, the
addresses are octal but the data is hex.)
My 2.10 manual says it is optional in a catalogued procedure. I have
some in the proclib used for started tasks and also in the proclib used
for batch jobs.

We still don't know what problem you are trying to solve. Why do you
want to change the storage class of any existing datasets? You have
fixed things so he doesn't need to change his JCL. What more does he
want?

Has the blksize of the dump file changed (via a JCL or dataclass
update)? Does a dump dataset contain data from only a single MANx or
could you be generating SMF data so fast that by the time you take the
dump you have much more data than previously?

Again, why? What does he think this will gain him? Storage class rarely
has any effect on an existing data set. If he is worried about
restores, it might be easier to deal with in ACS. If this really has to
happen, build a list of the DSNs (e.g., 3.4) in a dataset and run a
little rexx to alter
