[SOLVED] &DSNAME
I'm trying to capture the GDG number from the dataset name using ? TSO DDNAME somedd but I'm not getting a value for &DSNAME.

MVS FOCUS...old stuff but still very much alive.

Any suggestions?

Well, I had to look it up. Try:

-? TSO DDNAME


It has been a loooooooooong time since I've had to use this command.

It's a -? TSO DDNAME statement, with a dash as the first character, correct?

If that doesn't work, try

? TSO DDNAME somedd
-RUN
-TYPE &DSNAME

That is correct. It populates a host of amper variables. Your second example won't work as the display goes to the terminal.
