Hi

How can I find the (creation/modified) timestamp of datasets in ISPF. Or how can I find the latest dataset created/modified from a list of datasets.

Thanks in advance

Hi

In 3.4 of ISPF, if you have a list of datasets, you can PF11 (or RIGHT) until the 'Created' column appears which will give you the date it was created. You can sort the list of datasets on the Created date by typing SORT CREATED on the command line. The same goes for the Referred Date field (SORT REFERRED).

Or if you tab down and put an 'i' next to the dataset in the left hand column you'll get the Dataset Information with the Creattion and Referred dates.

...forgot to mention that I don't know a way to get a 'Timestamp' of when a dataset was changed, only a date.
