REXX to get the Dataset names grouped by Datasets types

I'm trying to code a REXX program using DCOLLECT to get all the active datasets on DASDs and their dataset attributes by taking the HLQ as input. And then prepare a report by grouping them according to the dataset type.

Request your help to provide me a basic REXX utility which I can customize to perform the following tasks.

1. Collect all the datasets on DASDs with HLQ as Input.
2. Group the datasets according to their data types.
3. Write the data collected in the second step to a sequential file.

OK. Could you provide some idea of what you have so far or more details as to the actual process. I'm persoanally not familiar with DCOLLECT, so could you provide some more details on how you intend to use it.

the cbt tape at cbttape.org
has good samples on how to process DCOLLECT data
also searching for DFSORT DCOLLECT will provide a link to IBM samples
