Hi, Already got to know how to retrieve DEVTYP using IGGCSI interface. Another question is: Is it possible to retrieve information regarding non-vsam dataset size, vsam dataset size? I found following records for non-vsam dataset: NOBYTAU Bytes/allocation unit NOBYTTRK Bytes/track NOEXTNT

2012-07-23 Thread Staller, Allan
Short answer is NO. CSI in IGGCSI stands for catalog search interface. If the information is not in the catalog, it cannot be retrieved. VSAM allocation information is available in the catalog. This information is not available for non-VSAM. For what you appear to be trying to accomplish,

Victor, yes, you can do that. the rmm CATSYNCH function does just that - retrieves all tape data sets from the catalogs and compares the results with the data sets known in its own CDS. You need to retrieve generation data sets as well as non-vsam, request at least the devtype and volser.
