If IBM can't provide a solution, then you can use system exits. Whatever you choose will be expensive but open will probably be most expensive. You should have an honest discussion on benefit versus cost. You're going to have some risk no matter the solution you choose. Some of my suggestions: 1. See if there is system symbol exits or if user dynamic system symbols are possible. If possible, this would be your best solution. Every time specific variables are encountered, you know to log the entry. By modifying the RELATE to include the variable, you're not processing every file. Instead, you only see the desired files. 2. Alternatively, dynamic alloc exit and jcl Converter/Interpreter exit can look at the DSN's allocated. Both exits must be used because they are different allocation types. 3. I would NOT use the open exit because it may cause a lot of overhead. 4. You should consider calling PC routines from the exits that writes everything to the home address space. You say "too many" which means exhausting addr space storage is less likely to impact the system than using CSA. Additionally, built in abend recovery is flexible. 5. Be sure to use TRT rather sequential search to reduce overhead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
