Re: VTOC Listing utility with PDSE V2 Maxgen Info?

[Steve Smith]

Catalog Recovery+ from Rocket Software will show this information with its
EXPLORE command.  It is a recently added feature.  EXPLORE gathers dataset
information from catalogs, VVDS, VTOC, and for PDS/PDSE, from the dataset
itself, and compiles it all into a comprehensive extract file that can be
reported on in many ways.

Disclaimer: I work for Rocket, and as a matter of fact, wrote the PDSE
support.  I'm biased, but I say it's pretty good :-).

That said, I agree that the lack of PDSE information in catalogs and VTOCs
is unfortunate, as is the secrecy about the internal organization.

Nope, it ain't in the VTOC.  The PDSE version and maxgen info is 
embedded in the dataset, so you have to open it to determine the 
version.  My requirement to externalize the version indicator to the 
VTOC or catalog was DOA.
