CA OPSMVS : DUMP GLV's

[Randy Knapton]

I had a rexx or rule that listed all your global variables, like a tree directory, but i can't find it ...Does anybody remember how this is done?

[SAL COSTANZO]

Are you talking about CCLXEXEC(OPGVBK) - which backs up the globals in a rexx cmd format so you can run and add them back??  That is the only thing I am aware of - not really a tree structure.

Hello Sal,

No that is not what I'm thinking of, I may have seen/heard about it at the Pittsburgh Conference.  Basically I would dump your Global Variables and write it out to a file.  

 

Example 

 

GLOBAL.EXAMPLE

GLOBAL.EXAMPLE.TEST

GLOBAL.EXAMPLE.TEST.1

GLOBAL.EXAMPLE.TEST.2

 

Thanks for the comment!

I think something like this will work ..... looking for something that I can see to clean up SYSCHK1.

 

RTVL = OPSVALUE(GLOBAL,'S')
do queued()
pull line
parse var line word1 .
say word1
end

Hello Randy,

 

Your REXX program looks correct to me and will produce a list of global variables. As an additional recommendation, make sure you check the RDF tables in the OPSVIEW panel 2.6. RDF tables also consume space in the SYSCHK1 dataset. 

Please, review this old post in this community where the clean up of the SYSCHK1 dataset is discussed:
