C/C++ for MVS: Reading the master catalog

Cristit — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:12:46 +0000

I’m trying to get the same output as “ls ‘*’” from z/OS FTPD.

I think this can be done by reading the master catalog. Until now I found no way to open it from C.

I found out that the master catalog path is in SYS1.NUCLEUS(SYSCATLG). It says: S6SYS1113CCATALOG.Z16S.MASTER
So, my master catalog is CATALOG.Z16S.MASTER. I thought I could be able to open it with fopen, but it doesn’t work.

Am I missing something?
Any help is appreciated.

connect:direct – create a new Windows Folder on the SNODE

Johnc — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:54:13 +0000

I’ve been requested to send a set of files from MVS to a Windows Server each month.

Each set of files is to be created in a new dated, say, RRSyymm, Folder.

It’s expected that some connect:direct specification will be able to create a new Folder each month on the destination Server.

Can / How do I do that?
