The WhoHas generally checks the SYSDSN enque and if the file is enqueued on another resource, it won't be found, eg enqueued to PDF edit( I know that's not germane to this example) doesn't show on most WhoHas's. So a check of the QCBs for the DSN may be the only way. Knowing what the DSN is would make it easier>

So if you type WHOHAS next to a dsn on ISPF 3.4 it will add the quotes and the display will always look like the one you showed above.

Also RMF post processor, if you have ENQ(DETAIL) specified in your RMF parms.
