I'm looking for ASM370 macros or SAS input statements for reading/mapping MVS ICF catalog records. These are described in the Catalog Diagnostic Reference, but I loathe duplicat work (reinvent the wheel), so if you have them online... Ultimately I would like to be able to compare two catalogs, i.e. the new and old master catalog after installing an IPO.

Rather than read the catalogs directly, we used LISTCAT ALL and ate the output with SAS to compare new and old catalogs when we converted from CVOL's and VSAM catalogs to ICF. This would seem to be much faster, esp. since LISTCAT already knows how to read catalog records and gets most of the info. out in a relatively-easy-to-digest form. Unfortunately, that was a few years ago, and I'm sure the SAS code is long gone by now. - Jim Blalock MVS Systems Development Clemson University BitNet: CAREY@CLEMSON
