Hi Lizette Koehler, Thank you for your detailed answer. The ID/Owner which was mentioned in my post means the person or some other creature who allocates the dataset/file...
For the ID who updates a member of a PDS, it is usually displayed in ISPF if she/he acturally did someting to the member like update, edit and so on. It seems my question is a little bit interesting, for there is no simply way to know it only if we analyze the SMF data. CC All, Thank you for your posts! Much appreciated! Alex 1) Is it the ID that ALLOCATED the file? 2) Is it the ID that UPDATED a member in the PDS?
