Paul
I would suggest that you compare the following and see which comes out best :
(1) Issue EDTINFO and then run UCBSCAN for DASD and then update your
device array as you loop thru the UCBs
(2) Issue EDTINFO and then run the device array and issue UCBLOOK for
required entries

Subject: Re: EDTINFO DEVSTAT ?
I use EDTINFO to obtain only the device #'s that belong to a particular unit
(like SYSDA or SYSALLDA or DISK100 or whatever). UCBSCAN does not have that
granularity--it gets all of the UCB's for DASD, which could contain many I am
not interested in.
Thank you.

and then use an ENF listener (codes 23/24/30) to update your table of units.
However, this might seem a little extreme just to avoid UCBSCAN...

(These are UCB's that have been genned for future DASD expansion.)

I can do a UCBLOOK on each of the device #'s returned with the EDTINFO RTNDEVN
macro and then check if the UCB is online, but I am looking for something
faster.
