>From the Preview Doc for z/OS V2.1 http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/897/ENUS213-013/ENUS213-013.PDF
In z/OS V2.1, TSO/E is planned to provide a number of REXX enhancements to EXECIO, LISTDSI, and STORAGE, and to provide a new variable to indicate the level of the operating system. These enhancements are intended to make it easier to retrieve information about data sets in the extended addressing space (EAS) of extended address volumes (EAVs), as well as multi-volume, PDSE, and concatenated data sets; to support I/O to undefined and spanned record format data sets; to improve the usability of EXECIO; and to eliminate unnecessary calls from LISTDSI to an external security manager, such as RACF .

The next opportunity would be z/OS 2.2 in September 2015. From right now that would probably be called a "couple" of years instead of a "few," but the response was written last year. > > -- > Edward E Jaffe > Phoenix Software International, Inc > 831 Parkview Drive North > El Segundo, CA 90245 > http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
