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

DAF processes many different SMF records, not just the ones RACF creates. If your SMF is recording the necessary record types, DAF should be able to tell you when and by whom any dataset was created, opened, or deleted. But you need to be recording type 14, 15, 17, 18, 60, 61, 62, 65, 66, and 69

Read the description of the date fields in DFSMSdfp Advanced Services. The high order byte contains an unsigned year value to which you add 1900 to get the actual year. Any value below 100 is pre 2000. At some point in about 130 years, IBM will probably address the Y2155 issue. ::
