Tommy Tsui wrote: Actually I want to seach all volumes entry catalog for tape volume only I'm not sure there is a simple way of doing this. 1) Use CSI to read all master catalog entries, process the tape entries as you want to, and user catalog entries to a table or chain; remember at least one high level index (alias) for each user catalog. 2) When you finish the master catalog, loop through the user catalogs (note that these may have additional user catalog pointers). CSI may fail if the user catalog has not been referenced since IPL (you can run through the CAX entries to verify this). If there is no CAX, try to do a LOCATE on the high level index with a fake name (e.g. index.ABC); this should fail, but will build the CAX, and a subsequent CSI for that catalog should work. Repeat until all catalogs have been processed.
