ISPEXEC LMDxxx returns REXX compatible list of datasets on a volume or dsn prefix similar to ISPF 3.4. You could LISTDSI or LISTDS for each dataset to find the uncataloged datasets. Alternatively, you could use ISPEXEC LMDxxx for old sysres and create stem variables for the datasets (e.g. DSN.dataset-name) and LMDxxx for the new volume that checks if the stem variable exists. Another possibility, you could use ISPF 3.4 (sort if necessary), save the list for both volumes, edit the new sysres list, set bounds for the DSN, compare to old sysress and keep only new lines. If ISPF 3.4 supports == line command, then you could create an exec that catalogs an uncataloged dataset. specify the exec name on the first dataset, == on the second and == on the last. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
