Batch utility to write PDS member list to sequential file

Does anybody know of or have any JCL for a utility that will write a PDS member list to a sequential file?

I did this about 8 years ago but can't remember the tool I used to generate the PDS member list.

Examples of JCL would be greatly apreciated.

you can use tso in batch with litds or listdsi command

I recieved the following suggestion;

Wallaby Bob,

The following JCL will give you the desired results.

Code:

//STEP10 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD DSN=YOUR PDS MEM LISTING
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSTSIN DD *
LISTDS 'your pds name' MEMBERS

IKJEFT01 is TSO in batch program.
so basically use this program to issue the cmd I showed you.

sorry for forgetting the jcl deck.
