Thanks. Sounds like I will need two code paths:
- DESERV for PDS(E) - readdir (which in my general UNIX ignorance I was not aware of) for HFS directories Charles -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 5:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: DESERV for HFS Folders? I think the only way to do what you want is via the UNIX readdir type functionality. The only thing I can find for reading a directory using non-UNIX BPAM support are the BLDL and FIND macros. Conspicuously missing is DESERV support. Also, here http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt2d490/3.8.7.4 it says: DESERV provides interfaces to access the directories of PDS and PDSE data sets. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt2d570/2.2.20 says the same thing in very similar word. But here: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt2r190/8.0 it is explicitly stated: Table 73. DESERV reason codes Reason Code Meaning 1127 (X'0467') UNIX(r) directories not supported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
