SCANPDS may be exactly what you need, and it's described here: http://gsf-soft.com/Products/SCANPDS.shtml IIRC, the problem with archived data sets is that you don't know their DSORG, i.e. which ones are PDSes or PDSEs. SCANPDS, by default, does NOT RECALL archives data sets, but if you specify the RECALL option, it does it, and chances are that it will RECALL many non-PDS data sets. For example, you can specify SCANPDS JOHNDOE.** MEMBERS(QA05*) RECALL and it will RECALL all JOHNDOE.** data sets that are migrated, and look for QA05* members. Again, this will RECALL non-PDS data sets, which is not good. -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
