LMDLIST-list data sets

The data set list service (LMDLIST) generates and uses an internal list of data set names associated with a unique data set list ID (dslist ID) obtained from the LMDINIT service.

The names in the internal list can be passed to a dialog with data set information (if specified) using two options:

The LIST option returns the information one name at a time through the function pool variables.
The SAVE option writes the names and information to a data set.

The internal list is not dynamic. Data sets created after the invocation of the LMDINIT service will not added to the list. To update the list to include new data set names, use the LMDFREE service to release the current dslist ID and reissue the LMDINIT and LMDLIST services, or reissue the LMDINIT and LMDLIST services using a different dslist ID.
