RELATED IDEAS

When using dsfs in a PDS the ls -al should display ISPF statistics or other info

When using ISPF the member display panel will display either ISPF statistics (if available) or load module information. The ls -al command when using /dsfs should present similar information when it is available.


Since dsfs supports ISPF statistics when updating a PDS member this seems reasonable to ask for.

    In discussions on this topic on the System Z Enthusiasts discord an option was proposed where something like this would be the solution:


    cat /dsfs/pds/hlq/dsname

    or

    cat /dsfs/pds/hlq/dsname/member


    would display the ispf, or load module/object, info.


    In this case the 2nd directory is pds, something new, that would be used to trigger the return of the stats/info.


    cat is an example - could be ls as well.

    Since one of the goals of dsfs is to allow access to z/OS datasets relatively seamlessly with unix commands then perhaps adding a new command, or a new ls display option, would be better.

    I suggest implementing this as a command line argument.
