Search file in JCL library.

[Sushil Vaidya]

Hi,

Please some one help me with this. How to see which job is using the incoming file in JCL library?

if the file name is in clear use the ISPF SRCHFOR utility

[Anuj Dhawan]

Yes, unless it's a trick question - locate the library in ISPF 3.4 and issue SRCHFOR 'dataset to search' on command line. That should highlight the PDS having the 'dataset to search'.

Thanks both of you.

if the file name is in clear use the ISPF SRCHFOR utility

Can we also write a REXX to call ISPF SRCHFOR to run it in batch.

or better, You might want to look at the manuals to see how to directly invoke srchfor in batch

if You are too lazy to look at the manuals, the ISPF srchfor dialogs have an option to run in batch
so Yous do not even have to write the JCL Yourself, ISPF does it for You

[Sushil Vaidya]

Thanks. Batch ISPF works.
