Yes, I have done that in the past. I no longer own that code, so I am doing it again. C++ this time, FWIW.
IBM could change anything at any time but I think the basic format of PDS directories is going to outlive most of us. FWIW it's documented in "Using Datasets" and there is no note that it is not GUPI.

Charles, If I recall when writing an Assembler Program for a STOW macro there were some pointers on how to dump a PDS Directory. And I think there may be information in the ISPF Manuals as well. Though I think you are better served by doing this with an assembler program. Also, remember IBM can change the info in the directory without explanation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
