Here's another one - supposedly. We don't have EZTrieve... Looks like the
READFILE option might give you what you need.
The following code is z/OS site option update JCL:
//jobname JOB accounting.info
//UPDATE EXEC PGM=ETOPLOAD
//STEPLIB DD DSN=EZT.loadlib,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=A
//EZOPTBL DD DSN=your.EASYTRIEVE.EZOPTBL
,DISP=SHR,
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG),DSN=EZT.option.output,
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),
//SYSIN DD *
Site Option Update Cards
/*
//
Submitting a Run of ETOPLOAD Using JCL
This section describes how to update the Easytrieve
options table on the mainframe using the ETOPLOAD program through batch JCL.
There are two utility functions available for use with the batch update
program, ETOPLOAD. These utility functions are not necessary for updating an
existing options table. To use these functions, the command would be specified
for the SYSIN instead of the Options Update cards.
Create File
The Create File command rebuilds the site options with the default values
supplied with Easytrieve
.
follow these steps:
CREATEFILE
Read File
The Read File command reads the existing site options and writes the
records to an output file. This output file can be used later to rebuild your
site options after installing a new version of Easytrieve
or if your site options are destroyed.
follow these steps:
READFILE
READFILE must be the first record in the input file.

Ooh, I know this one!
If you're still using Easytrieve Plus 6.4 then you're using the old options
table. (This options table is also used in r11 in "compatibility mode").
To dump it, run this JCL:
//JS010 EXEC PGM=EZTPX15
//OPT DD DUMMY,
// RECFM=FB,LRECL=80
//SYSPRINT DD *
If you're in r11 it gets a lot more complicated to view the options. You can
have a table (in a completely different format) that is full of options, except
one of those options tells it to ignore ALL THE OTHER OPTIONS and instead use
the old method.

I need to determine what are the Easytrieve options we have. This is a very old
version, 6.4, and the people and libraries used for the install are long gone.
Seems like I remember that you could run something to list the installed
options.
