Did you mean for your question to ask what created the dataset as opposed to what is currently allocating it? If so, the creation date in the DSCB will tell where to search the SMF records for the catalog update that should have occurred when the dataset was created.
If not and the dataset already exists, what makes you think any current jobs are allocating it? I don't know abut SVC99 but having a DD statement specify the dataset but the job never opening it will not generate an SMF record nor query RACF. In this case, changing the DSN and creating a profile that will preclude its recreation is probably the best way to catch a job with an unused DD statement. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On > Behalf Of Jim Beck > Sent: Thursday, November 8, 2018 9:30 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: How to tell what allocated a dataset never opened > > Thank you all for the input.
