Doesn't SMF 14 / 15 help you here? Probably 15 as it's SORTWK etc. The problem will be identifying the actual sort work DD statement names. Maybe 30 can also do it - assuming it marks a DD as tape.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu> Greetings , We are currently using syncsort 1.3.2 and would like to upgrade it to new version 1.4 . In the new release v1.4 , it no longer supports tape sorting . Hence it becomes necessary that i have to identify all the jobs which are currently using this feature and have them converted before going further . I need suggestions from people who has done this upgrade successfully in a production environment .I called up the support guys , and they told me to identify the jobs using tape sort in the currently installed release . I did some research on this and found 3 conditions to be satisfied in order to user tape sort feature a) SORTLIB DD statement in their JCL b) SYNCTAPE library in the linklist - (Which i already found to be there ) c) SORTWRK DD statements will have UNIT=TAPE Since we have thousands of jobs running in our environment , it is difficult to check the JCL of every job manually . Is there a different way to get this done ? Any sort of help is much appreciated Thanks in Advance, Roger ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
