The OP had 2 requests. I believe BPXWDYN INFO only tells you about allocated datasets. It does not tell you if a dataset exists which is solved by using SYSDSN( ). You could BPXWDYN ALLOC to determine if it exists but SYSDSN( ) would be a better solution. >in ><https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=functions-using-sysdsn-function> >i see: >PROTECTED DATASET >UNAVAILABLE DATASET These are documented at https://www.ibm.com/docs/sr/zos/2.1.0?topic=tef-sysdsn Protected dataset requires member name be specified and means you don't have SAF access to the dataset. Unavailable dataset means someone has exclusive enq for the dataset. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
