With that knowledge and the name of the program that was loaded, it should be, somewhat, simple to firgure out which PDS made the contribution. Some simple coding should do the trick... Would it not? Not if the simple coding runs after the record has been written and the contents of the PDSes have had time to change. And how would one know the names of the PDSes in question? Read a PROCLIB looking for the PROC? Read some other kind of library looking for the JCL? And what if those libraries have changed? The most accurate way is to gather the information from the appropriate data source when building the record. Down stream = possibly down level. Bill Fairchild Franklin, TN
