From what I can see of BPXWDYN, it allows me to allocate datasets to a DDname. 

What is need is to be able to see the DSN of a tape dataset that was already allocated to a DDname in the JCL of the job that I am at this moment executing.     This is what X = LISTDSI(ddname FILE)  with its FILE parameter allows me to do for DASD datasets. 
Can BPXWDYN do this?   What does the command look like to do this?  


Thanks,

Try BPXWDYN( 'info ...' )

LISTDSI is brain-dead.  It also will not provide information on allocated UNIX files nor on JES data sets.  And the information it returns does _not_ take into account overriding DCB parameters.
