Hello,

Could you please advice me what is the best way to get my goal - I try to find the DATASET profiles for which there ara no real objects for the current moment.

I try via type=DSN and MISSING(REAL_DSN) in the 'select' enclosure ?? is it a right way ?

Or perhaps there is some pre-defined report that ?

Any info will be appreciated.

thx in advance

In AU.V you will find two options that do the trick:

VERIFY EMPTY - identifies all DATASET profiles for which no data set objects were found in CKFREEZE, but it leaves behind the high level qualifier profiles (hlq.* or hlq..**)

VERIFY ALLNOTEMPTY also deletes the hlq profile

The profiles are listed in SYSPRINT and DELDSD command are generated in CKRCMD.

Note, you must have a CKFREEZE data set with all VTOC and CATALOG entries.  For migrated data sets, also get the MCDS.

See: NOTEMPTY and ALLNOTEMPTY

Your suggestion about using NEWLIS TYPE=DSN won't work, because this lists the existing data sets, and finds corresponding profiles for them.  No data set , no DSN entry.
