Many thanks, Cieri. However, this method obtains the system wide maximum as defined by MAXGENS_LIMIT in parmlib member IGDSMSxx, not the MAXGENS value defined to an individual PDSE V2 library. Nick -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe /

You're right, that API is FAMS. I have no idea what IBM requires to grant access, other than a signed NDA. Much less do I understand why they want to keep it secret. If you just want to do reporting, CatalogRecovery+ can help you out. Otherwise you might resort to hacking up something built on I

PDSE MAXGENS API

2018-05-01 Thread Nick Jones
Is there an API that will allow my program to establish the maximum number of member generations defined to a PDSE version 2 data set (via MAXGENS)? I have found a SHARE presentation that states this information is stored in the PDSE itself. The ISITMGD macro will get the PDSE version and also
