Hi All,
I have a job and it creates a new generation say G0001V00. When I am looking it in 3.4 it shows another version G0002V00 also. Is there any way to find out the dataset from where or which job creates it.
Please help me in this.

Regards
kavi

Kavi,

I guess you were already having G0001V00 dataset before the run of the job , so when u ran the job it might have created a new generation G0002V00.Try deleting all generations in 3.4 and run the job once again.

For the answer to your second question, go to option 3.14 and search for say the dataset 'USERID,TEST.G(+1) in the PDS say for example USERID.TEST.JCLS(*) , so it will show you the job name as well the DD name which creates the +1 generation in other words it will show you the line in the JCL which creates it by this way u can know the JOb name.Hope it helps.

SMF history data can show what job creates a dataset. See if your site accumulates SMF data and check out the TYPE15 records for the given time period.

Hi Bill Dennis,

How to get to this SMF history data? I tried "tso smf" and mainframe said:
SESSION MANAGER IS NOT ACTIVE - SMFIND IGNORED.

Thanks,
Thrivikram.

SMF data is written to files by a system task. These files are typically offloaded to tape when full and archived. Someone at your site (SysProgs or ??) will know where these files are and if you can access them. They may already have utility pgms to search for activity based on dataset name.

The System Management Facility manual explains the various record type. Type 15 (x'0F') are the "dataset opened for output" records.
