Hi,
Is there a way to find the last reference date of a VSAM dataset? Possibly SMF data and/or DCollect will help here, but apart from them is there any way out?
I tried with LISTCAT but LISTCAT does not display last reference date and as a programmer I do not have access to SMF or DCOLL data. So what can I do? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
How to find that last reference date of a VSAM dataset?

Site suppport is not that friendly. They need a business justification for that, as this department is with different vendor and we as competitor won't get this easily and have to it all our own. So there is just no other way round?

I do not see why You should be seen as a competitoras this department is with different vendor and we as competitor won't get this easily and have to it all our own.
use the reference date from a plain ispf 3.4
the referenced date is not there for the CLUSTER.
but is there for the DATA and INDEX components
