Mace, Download and install Dataset Audit Facility from CBTtape.org. Easy to install, price is right and you'll never be at a loss when a dataset goes missing, provided you're cutting all the necessary SMF data.

I have backed up the datasets to which maint will be applied, and just for S&Gs thought I look at a few other datasets reference dates. Much to my surprise I found an old CA dataset ref'ed today! I sit back and think for a minute, Oh... I know what happened the dsn I backed up has a similar name and I finger checked it. Looked at my JCL output and no the names are correct...hmmmm Now I know I never removed it from the linklist, go check and guess what, it isn't there. So now I am confused. So my question is how do I find what allocated the file short of renaming it and wait for the abends?
