Ken, Can you be more specific about your need?
Are you interested, say, in the last time some cataloged procedure was invoked from a PROCLIB? The last time a load module or program was loaded into storage? Executed? The last time a source program was updated? These are all different problems. Most large shops seldom or never purge program libraries. There is little positive incentive to do so, and no one wants to be the person who purges something that, it later turns out, the internal auditors need in centennial years or the Chairman remembers from "sometime in the 80's". The questions does it need to be examined? fixed? did, however, arise during the Y2K brouhaha; and at that time I wrote some routines that generated user SMF records when a PDS member was brought into storage for execution. As it very often does, IBM makes excellent, too little-used facilities for supporting user SMF records available.) One final question. Are you looking for a prospective or retrospective scheme? You can fairly readily put yourself in a position to answer such questions in the future. The likelihood that without such a scheme in place you can answer such questions reliably is, I think, low. -- John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
