chandra,

A simple way to find the who is accessing the dataset is

1. Go to 3.4 and type in the dataset name
2. Try to browse the dataset. It would give you a message that the dataset is in use
3. Now press PF1 twice and you can see all the jobs/tid accessing the dataset

Hope this helps...

cheers

Oh! At THAT time? I thought, you wanted to know which jobs/users are currently using it.

The messages in JESMSGLG might tell you. You get messages of contention there.

Does the D GRS,C doesn't answer to your need ?
If you have RESOLVE the cmd F resolve,ENQ is also a good way and can be trpped by batch.

Just for info, this is not an IBM supplied TSO command, it is site-specific. For example, we don't have WHOHAS but we do have a command ZWHOHAS which we wrote to perform this function.

If the dataset is currently allocated then kolusu answer is correct.

If you need to know what had it allocated previosly then you need to interogate type 14 and 15 smf records if it is non vsam file or type 62 if it was vsam.

Dibakar,

Please search before posting. Search the board for "smf" and you will find many topics.
