Well, mentioning that in the subject and/or posting on the rexx list might have helped.

You might pm superk and ask him/her to help......

The ISPF Service that I believe would be of use is the LMDLIST Service.

If STATS(YES) is specified, the following variables are returned to the variable pool:

ZDLVOL
Volume serial.

ZDLDEV
Device type.

ZDLDSORG
Data set organization.

ZDLRECFM
Record format.

ZDLLRECL
Logical record length.

ZDLBLKSZ
Block size.

ZDLSIZE
Data set size in tracks.

ZDLSIZEX
Data set size in tracks, long format (12 bytes).

ZDLUSED
Percentage of used tracks or pages (PDSE).

ZDLEXT
Number of extents used.

ZDLEXTX
Number of extents used, long format (5 bytes).

ZDLCDATE
Creation date.

ZDLEDATE
Expiration date.

ZDLRDATE
Date last referenced.

ZDLMIGR
Whether the data set is migrated (YES or NO) based on the value of the VOLUME_OF_MIGRATED_DATA_SETS keyword in the ISPF configuration table. If the volume name of the data set matches the value of VOLUME_OF_MIGRATED_DATA_SETS, ZDLMIGR is set to YES, otherwise it is set to NO.

ZDLDSNTP
Dsname type (PDS, LIBRARY, or ' ').

ZDLSPACU
Space units.

ZUDMVOL
Whether the data set is multivolume (Y) or not (N).

Don't think they will work for tape ......

But did you try before posting. If so what was the result ?
If not - go and try it now.

Also this thread might help too - but you will need to change the job and unfortunattely that means you doing some research into SMF & DFSORT.

So I wanted to know if any other option avaliable.

Try this, it's something I've posted before somewhere ...........

Batch REXX, you need a CATIN DD statement with the HLQ.** that you want to find out about.
Code:

/* REXX ** CREATION DATE OF GDG DATASET    */         
SIGNAL ON SYNTAX NAME ERR                                                       
"EXECIO * DISKR CATIN ( STEM CAT. FINIS"

does not work is a bit generic to deserve any consideration for help

certainly the script did not wash your dishes or mop the floor
so does not work applies to such tasks
the advice is hire a maid


dwork is built as a storage area to be passed to IGGCSI
Code:
WORKLEN = 4096                                                                 
DWORK = '00001000'X !! COPIES('00'X,WORKLEN-4)                                 

dwork is built as a storage areaof length 4096
initialized to 4 hex bites concatenated to 4092 bytes of hex zeroes

check the IGGCSI docs
