Find datasets using multiple Qualifiers LMDLIST
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 7:43 pmHi ,
I am trying to list all the datasets which starts with certain qualifier ( will be fed to the rexx ) , I have the code for and it does work if i am giving only one qualifier as input but in case if i give multiple inputs for the second input , no records are fetched ( even though there are files which stats with that qualifier )
I did found a similar thread in the same forum but even i tried that but it didnt work for me (the below thread suggested to use LMDLIST in a seperate subroutine but i couldnt see any difference)
tso-ispf/topic1751.html
My Rexx code :
When i tried with TRACE I option , I am able to see for the first qualifier this code fetches all possible datasets starting with that qualifier but for the second qualifier "ISPEXEC LMDINIT LISTID(IDV) LEVEL(&QUAL)" gives RC(8) eventhough there are datasets which can be pulled for that qualifier
Is it like LMDLIST should not be used in a loop for multiple HLQ ?
Can anyone please guide me where i am going wrong .
