I concur. There are little options when searching very large pools. I have used the batch DFDSS sample and it works okay.
If I try with ISMF I am not allowed to use wildcards for the storgrp. So they have to be entered one at a time If I use 3.4 I can over shoot because I might not be able to restrict the mask enough (PR* vs. PRX*) and therefore pick up too many volumes. I am considering opening a Share Requirement that would allow easier process of finding all Uncataloged datasets in a Pool(s). It would save some time if DFSMS provided a better/easier/more flexible process Currently CA Vantage and possibly FDRREPORT (I think, I do not have access to the tool to confirm) have an easier process to do this.
