Is there any way to display the creation date for a dataset with CA ROSCOE using ATTACH DSN?

Environment

Release:
Component: ROSCOE

Resolution

Here are the steps to display the creation date with CA ROSCOE for a dataset using ATTACH DSN.

1. On the Roscoe command line, enter

   DSN

   and press enter. Roscoe will display the following panel: Make sure DISPLAY FORMAT === > LONG
   .Press Enter.
   
   
2. CA Roscoe can display output in several different formats. To select the format where you can see the creation date, enter

   SEL ALT 3

   on the Roscoe command line.
   
   NOTE: In the display, the creation date column heading is abbreviated as CREDT.
   
   
3. Enter the command to display your dataset(s). For example,

       A D ROSCOE.PUBLIC.+ ORDERED BY CREDT DESCENDING

   This command displays the list of datasets specified in descending creation date order. Archived datasets will show a blank in the CREDT field, for example:

   > APPLID(ROSCOE)   USER(XXX,XXXXXXX)> DSN()               SCRL CSR  COLS 00001 00079                   LINE 000001><...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+.... =================================== T O P ===================================== SEARCH ARGUMENT                             MATCHES  CATALOG NAME        TYPE ROSCOE.PUBLIC.+                                  62 ICF.USERID.USERCAT3   VSAM    DATA SET NAME                                  CREDT      REFDT      EXPDT    ROSCOE.PUBLIC.I1234567.SVCDUMP                05/10/10  05/13/10    ROSCOE.PUBLIC.M0511.SMPCSI.CSI.DATA...
