I think these infile options my be helpful. I don't use z/OS so I
can't test these to see if they are what you need. If this doesn't
work you can PRINTTO the log and read the note but that may not be
necessary.
Host Options for Retrieving Information about Data Sets
The following options are used in the FILE, FILENAME, and INFILE
statements to retrieve information about a data set from the operating
environment control blocks. SAS assigns values to the variables that
are defined by these options when it opens the data set. It updates
the values every time it opens a new data set in a concatenation. You
can use these options with all standard external files under z/OS.
DEVTYPE=variable
defines a character variable (minimum length 24) that SAS sets to the
device type. SAS obtains the device type by using the z/OS operating
environment DEVTYPE macro. For more information, see the IBM
documentation for your operating environment.
DSCB=variable
defines a character variable (minimum length 96) that SAS sets to the
Data Set Control Block (DSCB) information from a non-VSAM data set.
For more information, see the IBM documentation for your operating
environment.
JFCB=variable
defines a character variable (minimum length 176) that SAS sets to the
Job File Control Block (JFCB). For more information, see the IBM
documentation for your operating environment.
UCBNAME=variable
defines a character variable (minimum length 3) that SAS sets to the
unit name (device address), which is derived from information in the
unit control block (UCB).
VOLUME=variable | VOLUMES=variable
defines a character variable (with a minimum length of 6 characters)
that SAS sets to the tape VOLSER or the disk volume serial number. In
the case of a multivolume file, the VOLUME= variable contains the
concatenated volume serial numbers up to the length of the variable or
the first 30 volumes, whichever is less. The value in the VOLUME=
variable contains the volume serial number of the first data set in
the concatenation when the file is opened. This serial number changes
if you open a subsequent data set in the concatenation.
