IBM Mainframe Forum

Hello,

I need to do this task using REXX also...

Why does someone believe this must be done using REXX
And no, this is Not the requirement . . . The requirement is to get the needed information.

But dont we have any REXX command to get the last reference of a dataset ?

No.
Keep in mind that unless the statistics are always generated/updated and no one modifies them (yes, that too can be done) they would be worthless for what you want.

Why would you think that Rexx has a command to do that? Rexx is a general purpose programming language running on many different platforms including mobile phones so why should it have keywords/builtin functions to query stuff belonging to one specific platform? A quick browse of the Rexx language reference manual would have informed you. Yes, there are specific mainframe extensions but a quick browse through their manual would have told you the same thing.

Hi All,

I left REXX and used the below JCl

But I got return code 8
and error msg below

TASKID 001 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO COMMAND 'DUMP '

and use

o a real dataset name to create a true dump

I am surprised that the IBM manual is not that clear! </sarcasm> The explanation of the BY( ) syntax could be better.

Rather than 'XXX', you should provide a numeric value.

Hint:

get all the datasets which are not referenced from 365 days

Hi All,

Thanks for your help!!!!

I have used the below code

Here I am getting the datasets list which are not referenced from 365 days. But even this is checking only the datasets which are not migrated. I want to search even the migrated datasets but the datasets should not be recalled.

If the datasets is not migrated the above is working fine. I have searched the other threds but could not find a solution for this. Pls help me.

for migrated datasets You will have to do it thru the appropriate HSM commands!

for example a DCOLLECT on the MCDS and a rexx script to process the output and issue the Hdelete commands
not overlry difficult

see file 206 at www.cbttape.org
for working snippets on how to process dcollect data with rexx

Hi Enrico,

I am not able to FTP the file 206 to my mainframes.

I am trying to FTP in command prompt and even I try in binary mode the FTP process is getting abend.

Cn you please tell me the commands and process to get the information of migrated datasets. Pls help me!!!!

Hello,

Suggest you ftp to your desktop rather than your mainframe. Then look at what you have downloaded.

If the file will not download, post the reason(s) why rather than saying "is getting abend".

I am able to download to my desktop as XMI file .

But I dont Know how to open an XMI file?
