REXX tool to find the Jobs using a dataset

Post by Sasikumar_breddy » Tue Jan 30, 2007 12:51 pm

The requirement is i am having a PDS having around 100 jobs. I want to find out which jobs are using a given dataset . The jobs are using proc's and symbolic parameters. So i think we need to expand this jobs. after that we have to find where this dataset is created, where it is used and where it is deleted.

Are there any REXX tools or JCL doing this function.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Usually for this type of task there are "in-house" tools available - what works for me is specific to my shop. However, ISPF 3.14 is a better option for this. If you've a DSN to search for is like: &HLQ.node1.node2.LLQ, you may search on the string "node1.node2" instead of "&HLQ.node1.node2.LLQ".

hope this helps..
Regards,
Anuj

Hi,

Try searching "WHOHAS" under ISRDDN - "WHOHAS" is a nicely written REXX & availabe at many sites- may be you are the lucky one..

PS. I have WHOHAS at my shop.. :)
