Jake, what you might also want to know when was the last time a GDG was altered. That would be field GDGALTDT (Last alteration date. Packed decimal YYDDDF for 3 bytes appended with one byte century indicator. If the century byte is 00 then add 1900 to get the year; if 01, add 2000.)
I've run across GDGs that have not be touched for years. When I approached the business unit about it, they had no idea it was still hanging around.

I was trying to get all the info in only one pass with IGGCSI00. That would be more efficient. But I might have to down that road.
