Not having access to handy 3rd party tools as Mark obviously does, I wrote my own - via a JES(2) exit. The DBAs insisted they absolutely *had* to have a series of dsn aliases (alii ??? - cue John/gil/... for a treatise on derivation) for such as SYS1.DSNLOAD, SYS1.DSNEXIT ... etc Serious PITA at version cutover when we might have 2 versions active. I trapped the converted text of every batch job in the place and cut an SMF record when we had a hit. Those ones all got changed - missed some stuff on the DEVL LPAR, but that was a matter of "tell some-one who cares - fix it". Wouldn't work for module loads, but could catch dodgy DSN references in STEPLIB.
