Hi,

I am looking for the following things

1. To find all the GDG base names and their limits. I was able to find some topics on this already in the forum and got enough information on this.

Also, the LISTCAT ENT(AB) ALL - will list all the GDG information. It also lists the NON-VSAM dataset information.

2. The second thing I am looking for is a way to eliminate all GDG information and get only sequential dataset information.

Is there any thing that could be specified in the LISTCAT command to eliminate all GDG information and VSAM information and get only the NON-VSAM dataset information which are not GDGs ?

Please let me know if there is any way to do this?

Thanks

You can add parameter GDG to the LISTCAT to see only GDG bases and their entries.

Add parameter NONVSAM to the LISTCAT and eliminate VSAM and GDG base entries, but the generation datasets themselves are non-VSAM so they still show up.

Thanks Bill for your reply.

I did try using the NVSAM in the LISTC command and as you said the generation datasets themselves showed up.

I am trying to find out if there is a way to eliminate all generation datasets and VSAM and list only the NON-VSAM (just the sequential) datasets ?

Please let me know.
Thanks.

Maybe take the LISTCAT output for the GDG entries and concatenate it to the LISTCAT output for the NONVSAM entries, and eliminate the duplicate dataset names?
