I would like to get a unit address of a volume by using a REXX execute. By
supplying the volume serial name I would like it to return the unit address to my screen with out going into SDSF and entering the D U,VOL=xxxxxx.

Thank YOu

Kevin,

I am not sure what you meant by unit address, but IBM IEHLIST gives the detailed information of the volume.

KFORD:

1. You can use the following example by adding ARG's and IF's.

2. You can issue SDSF commands from within REXX. Refer to the manual.

3. You can try DVOL from file 296 in CBTTAPE.

4. You can try to implement this XEPHON example.

5. Or this one.

And of course, you can issue MVS system commands directly from REXX using ADDRESS CONSOLE.

You could also do a dcollect, post process it into flat file that just has all of the voluumes (volser, device), then in your rexx, you search for the volume in this file.
It's not efficient, but it would work.
