This tool is used to return a list of data set members.
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Member Matchname | String | Specifies the match name that should be used for returned members. Default: MVSMEMBER |
| Parameter No | I/O | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 [M] | I | String | Data Set Name. |
| 2 [M] | I | String | Member Filter. Default: * |
| 3 [M] | O | File | References the file contained in the Member List. |
The output file descriptor (Member List) should be of type InputStream and has the following structure:
| No | Target ID |
|---|---|
| 1 | Name of the member. |
| 2 | Resource identifier, used for linked MVS element types. |
| 3 | Matchname identifying the member element type. |
| 4 | Name of the parent data set. |
| 5 | Size of the member (number of records). |
| 6 | Date when the member was created (format: yyyy/MM/dd). |
| 7 | Date and time when the member was changed (format: yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss). |
| 8 | User ID. |
| 9 | Initial size (number of records) of the member. |
| 10 | Version number. |
| 11 | Member modification level. |
| 12 | Suffix of the member (derived from file mappings ). |
When defining the file descriptor you must make sure to define a unique delimiter used to separate the member properties. The MVS Explorer uses the delimiter "/%/$/".
All other properties are returned but always have the value “UNKNOWN”. To obtain those attributes for a member the tool Get Member Attributes can be used, for example, as a Get All Properties Action.
Due to technical limitations, the tool has less information when executed with an IDz/RDz server instance. The only values returned by the output file are:
| No | Target ID |
|---|---|
| 1 | Name of the member. |
| 2 | Resource identifier, used for linked MVS element types. |
| 3 | Matchname identifying the member element type. |
| 4 | Name of the parent data set. |
