2. datasetError = datasetFindNextFile (datasetHandle, &ffd)
The datasetFindNextFile function acquires the attribute information for the next dataset in
the volume specified by datasetHandle and returns the data into ffd. This function can be
repeated until “no dataset found” is returned or until the user application determines that no more
information is needed. Table 48 on page 130 shows the datasetFindNextFile arguments
and return values.

When the datasetFindNextFile function terminates successfully, it returns a value of 0. If
this function terminates unsuccessfully, it returns a value of -1. To get the error code information,
execute the datasetGetLastError function (see “Acquiring Error Information” on page 127).
For example, when the datasetFindNextFile function cannot find the next dataset in the
VTOC, the datasetGetLastError function will return DATASET_ERROR_END_OF_VTOC.
The datasetFindNextFile function has the following restrictions:
• The datasetFindNextFile function cannot be used on an open dataset. Use this function
before opening or after closing the dataset.
• After a dataset has been accessed by the datasetFindNextFile function, the dataset
cannot be opened until after the datasetFindClose function is called.
• The datasetFindFirstFile function must be called prior to datasetFindNextFile.
3. datasetError = datasetFindClose (datasetHandle)
The datasetFindClose function terminates the acquisition of attribute information by the
datasetFindFirstFile and datasetFindNextFile functions and closes the dataset. The
datasetFindFirstFile function must be called prior to datasetFindClose. Table
49 on page 130 shows the datasetFindClose arguments and return values.

When the datasetFindClose function terminates successfully, it returns a value of 0. If this
function terminates unsuccessfully, it returns a value of -1. To get the error code information,
execute the datasetGetLastError function (see “Acquiring Error Information” on page 127).
