Hi everybody,

I am trying to find a particular set of datasets in all the jcls, in order to find out in which JCL's the dataset is being used. I already know the JCL's in which it might be created like PN4DR* and I would like to exclude all these JCL's in the 3.14 option, so that it won't search PN4DR* JCL's.

I am not able to find any option for doing that.

Is there any way I can acheive this in 3.14 or any other way I may be able to do this operation?

Thanks & Regards,
Naren

In the 3.14 panel, give your PDS name only, no membernames or (*). You'll be presented a full member list. Use primary command 'S *' to select all members. Now go down the list and remove the "S" from the members you don't wish to search.

Hi Bill,

I thought of that tooo, but the problem is there are around 32000 JCL's in it, the ones which I don't want to include in the search are around 1000. So manually removing all those is not possible.

I even checked the File-Aid for this, but there also you have to remove each member individually.

Isn't there any other way to acheive this?

Cheers,
Naren

In the 3.14 option you can select the member individually starting with "A*" up to "Z*" but not the member starts with "P*", once selected you can submit the job for a search.

Hope this helps. The above mentioned is not the best solution but still you can give a try.

singhnarender79,

Generate the JCL using 3.15 in batch mode and edit the JCL before submitting it.
