List dataset using wildcards

Postby Prasanna G » Tue May 10, 2016 5:24 pm

Hi

My requirement is to read a list of HLQs with wildcard and list out the dataset names.
I tried to use the below code. But when a dataset does not exists, the below code exits the rexx because of the Leave command.
Is there a way to write the dataset does not exist message against the HLQ to the output file and proceed reading the next record in the input and list the files under the HLQ till end of the input file?

Select all

"ALLOC F(INPUT1) DA('"XX.XXX"') SHR "                             /* XX.XXX holds the list of  qualifiers for which DSN need to be fetched */
  "EXECIO * DISKR INPUT1 (STEM HLQ. FINIS"                        
  "FREE F(INPUT1)"                                                
                                                                                                                   
DROPBUF 0                                                        
                                                                 
DO I=1 TO HLQ.0                                                  
                                                                 
QUALIFIER=STRIP(HLQ.I) /* FIND THE QUALIFIER FOR WHICH */        
STAR='*'                            /* DS NEED TO BE FETCHED */  
QUAL=QUALIFIER||STAR                                              
                                                                 
CALL PULLDSN QUAL                                                
                                                                 
END                  

  N=QUEUED()                          
                                     
"ALLOC F(OUTDD) DA('"YY.YYY"') SHR "  
 "EXECIO" N "DISKW OUTDD (FINIS"      
 "FREE F(OUTDD)"

/* PULL THE LIST OF DATA SETS BASED ON THE QUALIFIER */                
                                                                       
"ISPEXEC LMDINIT LISTID(IDV) LEVEL(&QUAL)"                            
                                                                       
DO FOREVER
                                                                       
 "ISPEXEC LMDLIST LISTID("IDV") OPTION(LIST) DATASET(DSVAR) STATS(YES)"

Yes.. I get the dataset names displayed as there is a Say command. But only one dataset name is written to the output report file.
This is what I have in the input file. First record available. Second record not available.
Select all

TRWTRTC.SORT.GEN180P*.SORTINP*
TRWTRTC.OHTR.GEN180P*.SORTINP*
 


This is what I get displayed in the screen
Select all

WHAT IS THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND

when I tell You that with the code You posted

Select all
  "ALLOC F(OUTDD) DA('"ZK83PXJ.DATASET.REPORT"') SHR "
    "EXECIO" N "DISKW OUTDD (FINIS"                    
     "FREE F(OUTDD)"                                  
/************************ SUBROUTINE *****************/
PULLDSN:                                                              
       


after having written the output file
the script will fall thu and will execute the next instruction
inside the PULLDSN:
code sequence

with all the disgaraceful consequences
cheers

I am extremely sorry.
I have coded

Select all
EXIT(0)  


after

Select all
  "FREE F(OUTDD)"  

Now I get in the output file.
Select all

if You had cared to read the manulas about the lmdlist return codes
we would not be here wasting time ...
You checked for 0...

but as the manual tells

0
One of these:
LIST option - Normal completion. The name of next data set in the list is returned in the variable specified in keyword DATASET. Data set statistics are returned, if requested.
FREE option - Normal completion. The internal storage associated with the data set list has been freed.
SAVE option - Normal completion. The data set list has been successfully written to a data set. The total number of tracks and datasets are returned to dialog variables in the function pool, if requested.
SAVEC option - Normal completion. The data set list has been successfully written to a data set. The total number of tracks and datasets are returned to dialog variables in the function pool, if requested.
TOTALS option - Normal completion. No list has been written to a dataset. The total number of tracks and datasets are returned into dialog variables in the function pool.
4
No data sets matched specified search criteria (the values for keywords LEVEL and VOLUME on the LMDINIT service).
8
End of data set list.


You had handled things correctly You would not have asked
cheers
