Wrong RECFM reported for PDS !

[Cogito-Ergo-Sum]

Hi,
I have looked all around and do not seem to be doing anything out of the ordinary.

Code: Select all

String pdsName =  "//'MT.TEST.PDS0'" ;                  
ZFile zf = new ZFile(pdsName, "r");                          
                                                             
System.out.println("dsn        : " + zf.getActualFilename());
System.out.println("dsorg      : " + zf.getDsorg());         
System.out.println("recfm      : " + zf.getRecfm());         
System.out.println("recfm mask : " + zf.getRecfmBits());     

I keep getting

Code: Select all

dsn        : MY.TEST.PDS0
dsorg      : 5                
recfm      : U                
recfm mask : 4                

even though I had allocated the PDS with RECFM=FB.

What's wrong ?

Unfortuneatly, this is how the C/C++ library works.... if you open a PDS, it is actually opening the directory which has the attributes that you mention.

If you want to see the "real" attributes:

1) Open a member
2) Use the ZFile.obtainDSN() method to get the label information. (This api so far is only available in the alphaWorks version)

I will look into ZFile.obtainDSN(). Thanks.
