Re: Dataset Last Reference Date
This works. But as I recall, for a VSAM file, sometimes the last referenced date is only updated on the first volume of a multivolume dataset. And sometimes only on the DATA component, not the INDEX component. So I'd strongly suggest that the code look at all the DCOLLECT records which reference a given CLUSTER name and selected the latest last referenced date from the group! The same applies if the OP uses CAMLIST and OBTAIN to read the DSCB records for the VSAM KSDS components. Read all of them from all volumes. IGGCSI00 itself only reads the catalog, which does not appear to contain this information. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 . N.

Re: Dataset Last Reference Date
Take a look at ZDSRDATE returned by DSINFO.

Re: Dataset Last Reference Date
Mike, John and Dave: Thank you for your usefull information. We'll try both approaches (DSLIST vs DCOLLECT) Regards.
