Where to search for system symbol usage: 

All JCL: STC, Logon procs, and Batch JCL (Though seeing it in batch jcl is 
fairly rare)  
Rexx
Clists 
In catalog aliases 
Within Commands: DD, SETPROG, VARY etc. (So these might be specified in your 
automation) 
Any code invoking SVC 99  
Any code invoking ASASYMBM  
USS paths/symbols 
And of course as already mentioned, in parmlib, proclib, vtamlst, and tcpip and 
Jes2 parms.
