Roger,
Can't you use a program that will read the members of a pds and search for
UNIT=TAPE on SORTWKnn DD statements? You should be able to search all of
your production libraries fairly quickly to identify all of the jobs.
Hopefully you have standards so that production is all in a small set of
libraries. I know there is a program on the CBT tape that allows you to do
that. Since I've retired, I forgot what it was.

Subject: Syncsort v1.4 doesn't support Tape sorting - Need help !
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
