As TLCMz level 3 from 2008 until it went EOS in 2010, I was interested
to see that they had used the same routine in their DASD scanner - the
"Surveyor".
So, XVTCREAD - the VTOC reading routine originally written around

Have you tried:
DSN='44 bytes of x'04'',DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=volser
Note that the DSNAME value is in quotes and is 44 repetitions of the
unprintable x'04'

You are correct. I did mean to type 527 for the file number. 529 has several
COBOL programs which can process various SMF data records.

Hi Matthew,
I think that you meant File 527.

If what you want is to find a dataset, then program DADSM on CBT file 529 will
do what you want.
P.S. I have an updated version if you would like it. Let me know (privately
preferred).

Yes! But only because nobody mentioned mainframe security or AMODE 32 :)
I have to say when I saw that DSN=FORMAT4.DSCB post I said, "What???"
and immediately went off to try it. Then I saw Skip's post about ZAP.

Wow. Everyone is being helpful. I am making a temporary ("one shot")
tool to help with a different problem that might involve dataset locations
on DASD. Was thinking of reading the VTOC directly versus picking fields
out of a IEHLIST DUMP listing. At the moment I am going with the IEHLIST

Thank you all! My old memory seemed to recall something like
DSN=VTOC.FORMAT4 which, while on the right general track, obviously
does not work. Never thought to look in Superzap for the information.

Rather than do BSAM reads I think it is better to make use of the CVAF macros.
These make use of the VTOC Index to assist processing. This will present you
the data set names in alphabetical order.
CVAF is much slower than BSAM, alphabetical
x27;.

My old memory is failing in too many areas. Long ago, I seem to recall,
there was an easy way to read a VTOC with simple JCL using a "magic"
DSNAME - obviously not 040404... for JCL, but some other name. Is my
memory correct? What is the DSNAME? While playing with google I cannot
