Get Data Set Attributes

Function:

This tool is used to get the attributes of a single MVS data set. It is typically used to refresh the properties of data sets which were returned by “Get Data Sets”.

Parameters:

Parameter No	I/O	Type	Meaning
1 [M]	I	String/MassProcessing	Dataset name. The data set to return properties for.
2 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Type of the data set.
3 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Dataset organisation.
4 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Record format of the data set.
5 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Record length of the data set.
6 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Space units of the data set.
7 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Primary quantity of the data set.
8 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Secondary quantity of the data set.
9 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Total quantity of the data set.
10 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Volume serial of the data set.
11 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Block size of the data set.
12 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Whether the data set is SMS managed.
13 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Whether the data set is accessible.
14 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Suffix of the data set.
15 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Whether the data set can be browsed.
16 [M]	O	String/MassProcessing	Whether the data set is editable.

In order to refresh properties of a single data set element, the “Resource Processing” attribute of the tool descriptor must be set to “UPDATE”.

Notes on mass processing support:

The action using the tool must be setup to support mass processing, see Mass Processing Overview.
Resource processing is currently not supported for mass processing execution. The resource processing attribute of the tool "Get Data Set Properties" must be set to “READ” for mass processing.
Although all parameters should have the type “MassProcessing” for mass processing execution, this tool accepts “String” parameters and treats them depending on the “Mass Processing” attribute of the parent action descriptor. It is not necessary to change all the parameter types to “MassProcessing” for mass processing execution.
Currently there is no mass processing server implementation for “Get Data Set Properties”, which means that the tool gets the properties of each data set one by one. If no other mass processing tool is used within the same action descriptor, it is sufficient to model the tool as single processing and simply enable multi selection (for example, in an “element type has action” relationship enabled condition, see Enabled Condition for more information).
