Umm, forgot to mention tools like Dorana and Softaudit, which should
be able to give a definitive report of exactly what's being executed
and where it resides. I'm guessing that you don't have either of
these though, or your manager would not need to ask such a question.

Hi,
Recently I've got a mission from my manager. He asked me:If I got a JCL
which runs many cobol programs,how can I
know whether these load modules exist or not without actually running it?
He also mentioned that he remembered there is a parm in JCL which can do
this. I guess he means 'TYPRUN=SCAN'.
However,'TYPRUN=SCN' only does syntax check and it cannot judge whether a
load module exists.(I also did a test on
this).
So,can anyone give me some hints on this?In fact,I intend to write a rexx to
scan the JCL and extract names of programs
and then search the library or link list.But,it seems that's not the method
my manager expects.
