Hi guys,
I am trying to find info about several files using wildcards.
first if there is any files under the name, and then if found get info about creation /last reference date, etc.
But the list I got to inquire upon is diverse, contains VSAM, SEQUENTIAL, GDG's etc.
and sometimes only exists the GDG base but no generations.
So, I am trying to run ISPEXEC within REXX but I am having issues.
In the code below, the first iteration is for a VSAM file and seems to be found. except for the dataset info.
for the second iteration the files are sequential, but got a RC=10 on LMDLIST. and I know there are files with that name.
The third iteration is a GDG that contains only the base, so I am assumming a rc=10 is when couldn't find any generations.
In all three examples below the search contains some wildcards. I only care about the info in the first file found.

I understand reading the manuals in advance would help me a lot, but need some guidance to resolve it... quicker...

so regarding the first iteration, how can I find the file info?
for the second iteratiion, why I am getting a rc=10. I know there are files with the name?
for the third iteration, is it correct to receive rc=10 for gdg base only?

Thank you in advance

Miguel

My questions are more about ISPF than REXX.
So, will break it up and post it in TSO & ISPF

Thanks

Just dealing with the first point here .... LMDLIST doesn't return stats for the cluster. Maybe you need to call it again to get the data component (or change your dsn mask)

Thanks Vern,
I did and made no difference
I couldn't make it work. so I moved away from ISPEXEC...

now trying with IGGCSI00. Got much better results with it. At least I am able to loop thru all the files.
Now looking to get additional details for some files.

Would be nice to have to have it as well with ISPEXEC, though.

Thanks.
