Searching members in a list of libraries

Postby vegafacundodaniel » Thu Apr 21, 2011 10:25 pm

Hello everybody !

I'd need to write a JCL to scan thru a list of libraries and search for a particular member in those libraries.

I'd need to display if a particular member is in.

How can i do that ?

Thanks in advance !

Well, you can't write a "JCL" to do this, as JCL lacks that ability.

I'd write a little piece of Rexx invoking ISPF services to accomplish this. Other participants on this forum may have preferable answers.

Won't a normal SuperC search job locate the location of a specified member for you? Or, couldn't you just replicate something similar to what you might do in TSO?

Select all
x = SYSDSN("'"variable_holding_pds_name"("pgm")'")
IF x = "OK",  /* member found */
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Create a customized DSLIST via the Workplace and use the 'M' command on it.

Sorry Prino, I don't understand your alternative. Could you give me more details please ?

Please try below once.

Give High level qualifiers (Test.*) in 3.4 option of command level then press enter you will get PDS list so again give M along with member name at
Command level you will found the member in your required PDS lists where it is resides.
Example: m ADDPGM

Select all
//SEARCH  EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM=(SRCHCMP,'ANYC')       
//*                                                   
//NEWDD   DD   DISP=SHR,DSN= pds name         
//*                                                   
//OUTDD   DD   SYSOUT=*

I'd need to write a JCL to scan thru a list of libraries and search for a particular member in those libraries.
I'd need to display if a particular member is in.

read and meditate twice on the requirement before posting misleading solutions
( and after two months the TS should have already got away with it )

5.5.5.13 SRCHFOR command
Use the SRCHFOR primary command to search the data sets in the data set list for one or more strings of data using the SuperC Utility (see Option 3.14). You may limit the search to excluded or non-excluded data sets, and control whether migrated data sets are recalled and searched or not. Use this format:


the TS asked on how to determine if a member is present in a set/list of libraries
it means look at the directories, not at the content ..
so the geek icon is out of place for a wrong solution :ugeek:
cheers

Follow on ...
cut and paste from the wrong page...
anyway the concept is the same...
ISRSUPC will search the content... not the directory

to be sure I spent about 20 seconds testing it,
and it does behave as I told

here is a snippet of the directory
