Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

For one of the requirements, I'd need to find the total Lines of Code in a PDS. The PDS has got 1500 members. Is there any way to find the total number of lines using some tool? Can Sort be an optio for this too?

with a bit of lateral thinking ... YES

just run a SRCHFOR with a string that YOU KNOW does not exist

the summary will tell how many members searched and how many lines searched

Also what you could do is create a REXX script to display the number of lines MEMBER wise

Unless i missed the obvious: This should help -

ISPF option 3.4, bring up the PDS on a selection list, enter PX beside the PDS. This prints the member names and line counts along with total lines. In the command line type LIST. Choose option 3 (keep and continue with new).

A data set of name &PREFIX.SPFx.LIST should give you a detailed report on your PDS.

Thanks but I am not very comfortable with REXX.

Thanks enrico for the help but it tells the "total" lines searched but not the number of line for every member in the PDS. Or did I get it wrong?

I'd need to find the total Lines of Code in a PDS.

my reply and the results shown satisfy fully the original request.

... but it tells the "total" lines searched but not the number of line for every member in the PDS. Or did I get it wrong?

You asked the wrong question then

Sorry for the confusion enrico. Reading it again and yes, it indeed is wrong.

And which utterly imbecile PHB has come up with this utterly useless requirement?
