Hello to all,
in a REXX program I am working thrugh a list of files, generated by the ISPF Service LMDLIST. Depending on the value of ZDLRECFM I want to do some calculations and I am wondering about the different values of ZDLRECFM.
Those values are given: 'FB(A)', 'VB(A)', 'U' and '?'. And there are probably more values represented in the spool-list as '.' (dot). But this dot is not a dot (X'4B'), hex displaying shows it to be X'FF'. But I cannot ask for the value of X'FF' in my REXX,
IF LEFT(ZDLRECFM,1) = X'FF' THEN --> is not true.
This happens for example if the file I am investigating is a GDG-BASE-Entry or a VSAM cluster.
Can someone give me the right possible values of variable ZDLRECFM ?
Thanks in advance,
greetings
Martin

well, why don't you go back to the manual where you found LMDLIST
(or did you just copy some code and let it rip)
LM....... commands are library commands - library as in PDS or PDS-E.
suggest you look at the TSO External Function LISTDSI in the REXX Language Reference

Desperate Housewives—Amazing Seasons!
An air of desperation Desperate Housewives DVD in the unlikely story lines that led Desperate Housewives, because it made such a sensation with his first time in 2004, never far from the house privacy and perfectly groomed women of Wisteria Lane disorderly conduct. The Mentalist DVD But as hectic, crazy, or just absurd soap opera antics may seem, if the conduct of outdoor camera or the suburbs of Fairview, USA, creator Marc Cherry continues Desperate Housewives devotees exactly what want in the seventh season. Medium DVD This class clearly greater for me than last season, if I thought that six was great too. In general, the plot holes were minimized, plots remained fairly constant and steady pace, although the latter half of the season seemed to drift in any direction, Family Guy DVD I was glad to see he had an address for the final. Many people complained about another story of revenge, but Paul / Felicia was the revenge of origin / revenge plot against, and I was glad to see that finally the circle, and the story of Andrew / Carlos six seasons (ten years) above. Breaking Bad DVD Each season of ‘Desperate Housewives’ has its own particular theme, the season of the ‘secrets hot’ season of ‘dirty’
