Hi,

I need to search for a particular field in all files which has LRECL=925.Can i search with HLQ where all PS have LRECL=925.

I used IDCAMS to get all PS with a particular HLQ intoa PS file.Can i put a comdition somewhere related to LRECL?

//LISTDS EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSIN DD *
LISTC LVL('HLQ')
/*

Hello,

Not directly - that i'm aware of.

How about this?

Use IDCAMS with the LISTCAT command, as you've shown, to list all of the matching datasets.

Run the LISTCAT output through a SORT step to filter out every record with 'NONVSAM ----- DATASET' and create a series of TSO LISTDS commands, i.e. 'LISTDS 'DATASET.NAME'.

Run a batch TSO step and process the LISTDS commands.

Run another SORT step to filter out only the datasets with a value of '925' shown under the '-LRECL-' column.

Hi,

Can you please guide me how to use LISTDS command

Iused below code..
//LISTDS EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSIN DD *
'LISTDS 'HLQ.TEST.JCLLIB'

/*

I got error as
CAY6006S VERB "LISTDS" IS UNKNOWN

//LISTDS EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD DSN=...
//SYSTSIN DD *
LISTDS 'HLQ.DATASET1'
LISTDS 'HLQ.DATASET2'
.....
/*
//*

Run the above jcl,you will get all dataseta LRECL information in the OUT.DATASET and you can fetch easily whatever datasets with use of SORT step
I hope this will help you.

Thanks;
