That's not what Webster says. I thought I was pedantic, but I write it as CoBOL to reflect the word boundaries.

Re: Datasets usage question
Use of properly architected dataset ALIAS names for use in APPLICATION JCL is my preferred option. Been using it for many years. Alternatively, use of INCLUDE MEMBER statements to include product versioned dataset names is possible, but gets messy across JES Multi-Access Spool environments during new sysres rollouts. Using System Symbols, and SYMBOLICRELATE alias names, can simplify all ALIAS maintenance. Is also allows quick identification of product version in use in the system Anything which stops APPLICATION JCL changes is preferred. Ensure all sysres based product datasets include a product version quialifier. The ALIAS does not contain any version information.

Re: Datasets usage question
Not that this will remedy your current situation, but. for future reference it might be advisable to create a member in the JCL library(ies) that establishes the dataset names via SET commands. You could then INCLUDE this member in various JCL members. When it's time to upgrade the dataset names are all in one (or very few) places.

Re: Datasets usage question
Yikes, I would *NEVER* consider using alias’s. Two things come to mind there is on CBTTAPE.ORG a find replace editor (or use the one that IBM use to give out on the CBPDO, that even might be on CBTAPE its been a while since I went through it. The smart way is to use DAF (on CBTTAPE and find who is referencing them and you can track (mostly) easily who is using them and to tell them to change it. Alias’s will have to be maintained *FOREVER* and no one wants to do that. Mastercats should be reasonably stable. If you must create a new master cat there are some freebie utilities (on CBTTAPE) to read and create the control cards for the new master cat. IMO alias’s are an evil thing that gets out of hand real quickly and become crutch’s. Ed > On Jun 23, 2016, at 3:33 PM, retired mainframer > wrote: > > You could consider using dataset aliases.

Re: Datasets usage question
Go to the CBTTAPE.ORG and download and install DAF. It produces reports that will probably fit you need. It reads raw SMF DATA I usually strip off the 14:19/42/60:69 records Then use that as input to DAF Next, you might want to look at SYMBOLICRELATE to manage the change. This could allow you to leave the current name in place, but have the true name (your new name) associated with it. Or if you are z/OS V2.2, (It might work) IEFOPZxx (data set optimization configuration) IEFOPZxx contains statements that define the load library data set optimization configuration, which could, for example, provide a list of pairings of an old Cobol load library and the intended new load libraries (one for each desired architecture level) and specifies which members are to be processed (optimized). The IEFOPZ configuration is defined primarily in terms of IEFOPZ-Old/IEFOPZ-New load library data set pairs and DDNAME/JOBNAME pairs. A load library data set identified by the OLD parameter in IEFOPZxx is referred to as an IEFOPZ-Old data set. A load library data set identified by the NEW parameter in IEFOPZxx is referred to as an IEFOPZ-New data set. Use of IEFOPZxx requires the use of PROGxx and not LNKLSTxx for defining the LNKLST; otherwise you will be prompted to acknowledge that IEFOPZ processing will not be in effect. IEFOPZxx is acted upon by the IEFOPZ system parameter and the SET IEFOPZ system command. All character string values (ddname, dsname, jobname, owner, plexname, sysname, volname) will be translated to uppercase. Note: The system will not manage security-related considerations for the data sets; that is up to you. Some examples of security-related considerations are APF-authorized data sets and RACF access control to data sets. For example, if you have an IEFOPZ-Old data set that is APF-authorized, you might want the related IEFOPZ-New data set to be APF-authorized. Similarly, you might want to grant RACF access to the IEFOPZ-New data set that is similar to that currently granted to the IEFOPZ-Old data set.
