LOCATE if successful will return a volume list (remember it might be a multi-volume dataset). I think LOCATE may be limited in how many volumes it will return, the return area is only 265 bytes. I think the volume list starts with a 2 byte count of volumes followed by 12 bytes entries (4 bytes device type, 6 bytes serial, 2 bytes sequence number). -- Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
