Peter: No sure if this is what you want but again try the CBTTAPE. There is a utility to unload a PDS to PS (with and without IEBUPDTE cards. It still works after 20+ years and it still works on PDSE’s. Ed > On Jun 14, 2016, at 12:30 PM, Peter Ten Eyck > wrote: > > Any suggestions on how to

Yes, I had overlooked that BLDL requires a member name. My comments were based on the following, written some 25+ years ago: PDSRENMB CSECT START CONTROL SECTION 3300 * 3400 ***

It sounds like you just want to scan a PDS. You can do that with a program that is part of ISPF. //SCAN1 EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM='L SRCHCMP CKPACKL ANYC' //OUTDD DD SYSOUT=* //NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SOME.SOURCE.PDS SRCHFOR 'RANGE'

Re: Read a PDS (all members) like PS dataset

If you have SAS, you can use PROC SOURCE to unload a PDS to a PS dataset with separators between members specifying the membername. Kees. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Peter Ten Eyck Sent: 14 June, 2016 19:31 To: IB

Re: Read a PDS (all members) like PS dataset

Yes it works, although I used it with the STOW macro (afterwards) to modify/update PDS directories. Use the List/Execute forms of the DCB Macro/DSECT if it is to be modified (in getmained storage). The FIND macro can then be used to locate the start of each PDS member returned by the BLDL. Fro

Re: Read a PDS (all members) like PS dataset

Use IEBPTCH or IEBUPDTE. Both can process all members of a PDS - although I believe both can read/process only LRECL=80 (but you could zap them to change that). I would suggest writing some assembler code that invokes the BLDL macro to read the PDS directory, and then read/process each PDS mem
