Nope, the below is one of the answers to the OP's question. It also works for PDSE, believe it or not.

Not sure what it is the OP wants but the IEHLIST may be all they need. Also works for PDS/e. Regards, Herman Stocker It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious. -- Robert Heinlein -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Steve Thompson Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 2:19 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Anyone know how to copy a PDS directory as a flat file? Try IDCAMS. You do a REPRO of your PDS where you give the count that matches the number of directory blocks and your output DD. You will need to specify the INPUT DCB parameters, probably like this: DCB=(RECFM=F.LRECL=256). The output DD can be defined as FB with LRECL=256. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
