Hi Using an example in the DFSSMS advanced services guide I got strange output from OBTAIN With CAMLST
OBTAIN DSCB DSCB. CAMLST SEARCH,DSABC,VOL,WORKAREA DSABC. DC. CL44'data.set.name' VOL. DC. CL6'VOLSER' WORKAREA DS CL140 Register 15 returned a zero WORKAREA pointed to a '1' indicating a format1 DSCB then a volser when I back up the address of WORKAREA by 50 bytes I got the 44 bytes dataset name followed by the volser followed by a '1' followed by the volser again The 2 byte volseq field didn't seem to make any sense and the 3 byte creation date had some binary number not a EBCDIC representation that I would expect Sent from my iPhone ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
