CCWs for this (backup utilites need them). An assembler program can read beyond end-of-file (to wit the utilities for recovering deleted PDS members). PDSE, HFS, and zFS are harder yet, in part because of ab$ence of documentation.
I thought no DCB information as such is retained for a deleted data set. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
