If the problem you are trying to solve is important to the organization, ask the people who can run DAF for what you need and let them sanitize the output for you.
Alternately, if the number of libraries containing the modules in question is not too large and you can convince the security admins to help, you could create dataset profiles for the libraries in WARNING mode with access NONE. Every load would then generate a message in the system log. It wouldn't tell you which module was loaded but it would tell you which library was being accessed by which job step. For a brute force method, if you have a test system you can use, recreate the libraries without the members. As each LOAD fails, add that member. When the jobs finally run successfully, any members not added are likely unused. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > Behalf Of Farley, Peter x23353 > Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2017 8:02 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: Any SMF statistics available for LOAD of a program? > > Unfortunately I have no access to any SMF data here and I am prohibited from running > DCOLLECT for myself by security rules, so DAF while no doubt useful to others is not > much use to me here. > > These are old dynamically LOADed and called COBOL subroutines that we are not sure of > the actual usage.
