directory listing for z/OS doesn't show tape datasets.

[spon000@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I noticed that when I connect to our z/OS mainframe using CoreFTP that the directory listing doesn't show datasets (files) that reside on tape. These datasets are cataloged on z/OS and look similar to disk datasets but they are not showing up in a directory listing. I'm guessing there is some flag that is being checked during the list that prevents the tape datasets from being included. It would really help if (even with an option) you could allow tape datasets to be listed also.

I am using CoreFTP 2.1 build 1635

we are running z/OS 1.9

Thanks for any help you can offer. If you need any more information please feel free to let me know.

Have a great day,
Patrick
