The ISPF command/service DSINFO will return the current maxgen for the requested dataset so if you're operating under ISPF you can check the zdsngen variable after using dsinfo.
Not ideal but it's something. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.

I did consider the possible hacks you mentioned but unfortunately, neither the IEBPDSE utility nor TSO/E LISTDS (nor indeed the TSO/E REXX function, LISTDSI) have been updated to output the MAXGENS value of a PDSE V2 library. Even if these facilities get updated via an APAR, their use would be undesirable since ours is a commercial application and the functionality being developed would become conditional on the customers' application of the APAR SYSMODs. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and request permission from management to get the FAMS licence.
