Sorry, I meant of course "LISTCAT LEVEL('XXX') [ALIAS]"; I am using quotes

I plan to write a REXX that'll identify the ones for which there are no datasets, or only a TSO alias. I thought to use LISTCAT for that, but I'm running into a problem. I don't use LISTCAT all that often, but I thought this would work: LISTCAT LEVEL(XXX) That nets me the same message whether or not an alias is present: ENTRY XXX. NOT FOUND+ ** XXX NOT LISTED LASTCC=4 ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 But I want to distinguish whether or not there's an alias. Ok, so I should add the ALIAS argument, right? LISTCAT LEVEL(XXX) ALIAS But that gets me the exact same response, whether or not an alias is present. What am I missing, here? And when I test that command on my own ID - I have both a TSO alias and some datasets - the screen blinks and comes back without giving me any response at all! Most strange. Am I broken? Is LISTCAT broken? Surely it's something basic I've misunderstood about LISTCAT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
