hi,

how can i save the list of "dataset names" available to a dataset.

lets say i have 1000's of files with the name A.S*.*
using ispf option 3.4 i can list all of those but i would like to have that list written to a dataset. i tried option 'P' in 3.4 but i dont understand where exactly the list is printed. kindly suggest what needs to be done.

See number 2 here.

Then, see here to determine the name and/or status of the LIST dataset.

Enter on cmd line:

SAVE ax

where: a is any alpha char and x is any 0 to 7 A/N char string.

The list will be stored in a PS dataset named: yrTSOid.ax.datasets
To save PDS member lists do the same, changing "datasets" to "members".

Can we do this in batch? We need to have a batch job which needs the member list for a given dataset and no manual intervention is required.

You can use the ISPF service LMMLIST/LMDLIST with OPTION(SAVE) in batch.
