As you have probably guessed from the previous responses, there are lots of ways the symbols can be used. Trying to find all the places where they are used is going to be complicated. You even many not have read access to some of the datasets where the use appears.
One possibility, which I DO NOT recommend, would be to change the value of a symbol you are interested in to one that is invalid in the context it is used. For example, if the symbol is used in a DSN, change its value to !JCLERR!. Then sit back and wait for the howls from upset users. But beware; doing this could cause your system to not IPL. Perhaps if you described why you want to know and precisely what type of info you need, someone could suggest an alternate approach. :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On :>: Behalf Of mvsmain :>: Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 12:09 AM :>: To: [email protected] :>: Subject: how to know who use system symbols :>: :>: Hi all :>: :>: In our shop there are many system symbols defined.
