List only Non-GDG datasets using IDCAMS.

Post by **Technocrat** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 2:49 pm

The LISTCAT ENT(dataset.name) ALL lista all the GDG information. It also lists the NON-VSAM dataset information which qualifies for the name in brackets. I need a way to eliminate all GDG information and get only sequential dataset information.

Can LISTCAT command be modified to eliminate all GDG information and VSAM information and get only the NON-VSAM dataset information which are not GDGs ?

LISTCAT cannot be modified,
But You can build Your own <LISTCAT> , with more flexible filtering using REXX and IGGCSI00

SYS1.SAMPLIB has a working example

Or Also another option trap the output and take/store only the data you need and IIRC, I think that what happens in
IGGCSI00

I think that what happens in IGGCSI00

NOPE

80% of the work is done by defining properly the extraction/listing rules

as soon as I will be able to IPL my system I will post an example

I got confused with the program which was in CBT , it could be used to find out information about it from 3.4 option
