Develop a toolkit that can get user input and scan volumes to provide dataset characteristics in a report. For example, if the users want to find the top 10 large datasets from five volumes, the user will provide 5 volumes as input and select option to find 10 large datasets from those volumes. Identify all PDSE datasets from 10 volumes, identify all uncataloged datasets from 3 volumes, etc

Can anyone help me in providing the above code?

Hire a consultant to develop this facility. The people that respond to these requests do so at no charge, on their own time. It is unlikely such a facility can be developed using only Rexx or CLIST.

it is reasonably easy to do it using DCOLLECT

see here on how to process DCOLLECT data using REXX

File # 206 DCOLLECT REXX execs from Linnea Nichols

Use the VTOC command from cbttape.og file 112. Build a ispf selection panel to get user selection then run VTOC and post-process the output.
