Like Mike said, run your own CCW's with EXCP or similar. But you could
also get a quick look with a program that already does this, such as:
//ADRDSSU EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//VOL DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=VOLSER,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT INDD(VOL) TRACKS(0,1,5,15)

Hey everyone! I have a little down time here at the end of the year with
our freeze, and I wanted to play with some ideas I have had.
I would like to write a program that can open any kind of file - PDS,
Sequential, Panvalet, loadlib, and maybe even VSAM components. I want to
open the file in "raw" format, as if I were going straight to the disk
pack and scooping up the bytes from the beginning of the allocation to
the end.
Is there any way to do this without caring about the catalog RECFM?
Obviously, the easiest way is through some JCL parameter that says
"force as PS" but I doubt that is likely. I can't go into more detail at
present, sorry!
What do you think?
Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton
