Hi Jon,
It's a lot easier to use the VTOC Command Processor (CBT File 112) than
to do what you're describing.

If you use VTOCLIST, realize it might have duplicate DSN's for multiple
extents.
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.
