Re: Finding a member
Howard Brazee said this: I need to find a PDS member, and I know it starts with QA05. Trouble is, I don't know the name of the PDS. (The person who created it retired). I suspect the PDS is archived off. What do you recommend? SCANPDS may be exactly what you need, and it's described here: http://gsf-soft.com/Products/SCANPDS.shtml IIRC, the problem with archived data sets is that you don't know their DSORG, i.e. which ones are PDSes or PDSEs. SCANPDS, by default, does NOT RECALL archives data sets, but if you specify the RECALL option, it does it, and chances are that it will RECALL many non-PDS data sets. For example, you can specify SCANPDS JOHNDOE.** MEMBERS(QA05*) RECALL and it will RECALL all JOHNDOE.** data sets that are migrated, and look for QA05* members. Again, this will RECALL non-PDS data sets, which is not good. -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Would a search of JCL libraries for 'QA05' possibly turn up a reference to it?

Option 3.4 has a member command you use from the command line that will search libraries, but not migrated ones. In your case if you do not remember the whole member name the command you would put on the command line is 'MEMBER QA05*'.

Re: Finding a member
Wild-carded datasetnames? I don't think z/OS supports directly but there are clever things one can do with Rexx, etc. Perhaps there is something on the CBT tape.

Re: Finding a member
snip I need to find a PDS member, and I know it starts with QA05. Trouble is, I don't know the name of the PDS. /snip As suggested scan the possible JCL/PROC libraries. If that doesn't find anything, either RECALL that user's DSN, scan SMF, eg SMF21, maybe SMF42.6, SMF42.21, or give the retired person a call.

I don't have it, but I think that FDREPORT(?) can do scans of PDSes and listing of member names. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
