RELATED IDEAS

Add a DD card for LIST to have the ability to format the report and use it by sorting tools

If I do not know in advance the name of the file in the Bucket (if it is time-stamped or if it has a random variable part in its name)

I cannot recover it unless I make a LIST + identify the file to be taken.

This LIST returns the contents of the bucket / pseudo tree.

And if I want to take the last receipt, the idea would be to sort on the date/time to take only the last one.

With this restitution it is complicated to exploit (except to make a REXX / PGM for each need, which is rather short...):

    With the delivery of OA66579, new GDKUTIL keywords, LISTDATEFMT() and LISTOUTDD() are now supported. LISTDATEFMT allows you to control the date format for timestamps in the LIST output. LISTOUTDD allows you to direct the list output to a different DD statement so you can put the list output directly into a data set or z/OS UNIX file. Details can be found at: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/eserver/zseries/zos/DFSMS/CDA/OA66579/OA66579_Publication_Updates.pdf
