Hi friends,
How we can know the CI-CA split of all datasets in TSO(3.4) Panel using a HLQ. Can anybody please help me with an JCL or anyother way which is possible.

Your first issue is that CI and CA splits only occur for VSAM KSDS and RRDS data sets. If your HLQ includes any other file types, then you have to figure out a way to exclude them.

Your best bet is to contact your site support group and see if they know of any facilities installed at your site to do this.

If you are talking VSAM then this should be in the VSAM section and the AMS manual is your best friend in that area

Never done it in =3.4 except for single files.

suggest you look at executing ams in batch to get the information you need.

fro the 3.4 dataset list if You put an I in front of the dataset
ISPF will show the dataset info for the normal dataset,
for VSAM object it will invoke a dialog for IDCAMS interactive execution...
since You can edit the AMS command You can carry on all the IDCAMS processing in an interactive fashion

I would under =3.4 type LISTCAT ENT(/) ALL beside the file I am wanting info on.

However this will take forever to do if you have 60,000 production VSAM databases but it would keep you occupied for hours and days and weeks.

If you have your screen in wide column mode using NETMASTER then you can get it as 132 view which shows everything you need.

Then, to save time, you can simply enter an equal sign ( = ) on the remaining entries to automatically "repeat prior action".
