Creating alist of dataset as per mainframe IDs.

Hello All,
In my office we are doing a "cost saving" activity. One of the activity which came to me is like that employees here can create new dataset using their mainframe IDs; I have to create the list of all such datasets. If any one have any example using which it can become easy please let me know.
It will really be a great help.

ISPF 3.4 will do it, if you have a list of the user ids or if there is a pool of disk volumes for user data sets. DCOLLECT will do it but will require manipulation of the output to remove non-user id data sets (unless there is a pool of disk volumes).

You have posted under IMS so are you really asking about personal IMS databases or are you talking about all personal data sets?

Along with what Robert has said, this might also help you:
Code: Select all
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A
//SYSPROC DD DSN=SYS1.SAMPLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSTSPRT DD DSN=...list,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(10,10),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSTSIN DD *
%IGGCSIRX
HLQ.*
/*
//
Where HLQ is the High Level Qualifier you want to search on or the mainframe ID in your case.

Can we save the list shown in the ISPF 3.4?

Please don't post it in any part of the Forum, a moderator can move it for you (as done by Enrico here).

1. After you bring up the list of datasets, on the command line issue the command SAVE followed by any word, example
2. You will get a message on the right top "Data set list saved"
Hit PF1 key, ISPF would tell you where the list of datasets are saved.
Code: Select all
The listing of data sets was placed in 'WELLS.DOGE.DATASETS'
3. ????
4. Profit

Okay a rookie question - what are these two commands for?
PS.: I'm in a role where mainframe' access is not a regular happening in my life.

That sounds bad or maybe not, hope you are enjoying what you do.

I thought I was getting old as could not recall to use
those commands.

The meme brings to my mind a question -- the original post was about cost savings. How, exactly, will generating a list of data sets created by each user id lead to savings? And since user id data sets tend to be a small percentage of the total disk space used, is this "cost savings" approach being extended to look at every high level qualifier on the system? Does the site rent / lease their DASD or did they buy it?

They have bought mostly but some are on lease also.
Yes, generating a list of the data-sets with each ID we are going to see if they are needed also it's extended to every high level qualifier.
