Hi,

I wanted to know if there is any command through which I can do select on the dataset or file and get the information.I dont want to do it by writing 'S' in front of the dataset.
Please let me know asap if there is any such command.

Hi,

Your post in TSO, CLIST & REXX part of the forum, so it seems you are looking for ISPF commands but "S" is not your choice so may be "I" in front of PDS/DSN in ISPF 3.4 can work for you... if this is not what you are looking for - please explain your query a little more and what's the reason behind this choice

I dont want to do it by writing 'S' in front of the dataset.

Yes I require the REXX command in order to get the information about the dataset that we get through typing 'S' in front of the dataset.
I want to create a macros in order to do it.Like I used command
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "BROWSE DATASET("FileName")" in order to browse the dataset.I require such command for getting the info.

Please reply asap.Thanks
