Roger, In addition to reviewing your SMF14/15 records; you might also check what information might be available from your Tape Management System. Many record creating-program; and even better would be creating-DDNAME. I would do a test using TAPE as your SORTWK01; find the records created in your TMS system and then analyze any audit records you might have. Of course, the possibility always exists that you have a production job that is only run once-a-year using TAPE as SORTWK; and this hasn't been run for many months. But that would be a very rare situation.

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 [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
