I had been looking in the Programming Guide for samples of how to call CA-1 and obtain information about a volser. There is a specific macro with which to do this, but, in my opinion, the narrative for the macro and the other macros needed to provide the needed interface leave something to be desired.
I was hoping someone might have an example of a program that would take a given volser and ask CA-1 for what it knows about it. As to reports, that won't work. What I'm doing isn't "report" driven and is dynamic. As to utilities, unless there's a callable utility module to which you pass a volser and it returns the CA-1 data related to it, utilities won't work, either. I will check out the CBT to see if there is anything usable there. Thanks to all that replied.
