Dirmaint has a programming interface for synchronous communication.
See Appendix D of the Directory Maintenance Facility Commands
Reference manual for more information on it. It uses WAKEUP under
the covers to wait for the response from the DIRMAINT service machine.

Pat--You should also look at the CMS DIRMAP program. I usually use it
with the USER BACKUP file that DIRMAINT puts on it's 1DB disk so it's
what the system looked last night or whenever you have it generated. If
I want an up-to-the-minute file, I do a DIRM USER BACKUP and then run
DIRMAP. I

Good idea except that DIRMAP has one design flaw. It does not show

Or you could allocate a dummy at the end of each volume (one cylinder
in user $THE$END or so). It also helps to make DISKMAP alert you when

That's what I do to make DISKMAP work properly.

Actually, if you create a minidisk that overlays the whole pack,
DIRMAP will ignore it for overlays but show any gap at the end.
Something like this:
USER $DASD$ NOLOG
MDISK 1C3A 3390 3339 LABEL1

Hi:
Although I've done a bit of maintenance on our company's VM systems, I'm
a raw, brand spanking new VM script writer, so forgive me if I'm missing
the obvious. I'm sure I'll have many d'oh! moments.
I'd like to write some code to fetch
I would use DIRMAP. What means first running a DIRM USER BACKUP to
get the monolithic USER BACKUP file. Or, -unsupported: running a
DIRMAINT EXEC to construct it yourself. At my customer instalation,
we use both techniques in two EXECs that I will send you.

Look at WAKEUP. It can trap on events, like messages from DIRMAINT, or
the arrival of a RDR file. It can also be set to time out if none of the
monitored events occurs in whatever you consider to be a reasonable time.
When it exits, it stacks information on why.
