I try find one particular member in a group of Libraies, Any TSO command or REXX program can do it.
E.g
Find a copybook named 'test' in USERID.SRC.* libraries.

Thanks In advance

adous_sg,

If you are Z/OS 1.4 you can just the use the command MEMBER test on the command prompt on 3.4 DS listing for USERID.SRC.*

The MEMBER command is used to search for a member name or pattern in all of the partitioned data sets in the data set list that are not migrated. It can be abbreviated as MEM or M.

You can limit the data sets to be searched by entering one of the following
optional parameters:

X or EX - to search only excluded data sets
NX - to search only non-excluded data sets

You can expand the number of data sets searched by entering one of the
following optional parameters:

RECALL1 - to search data sets migrated to DASD
RECALL2 - to search all migrated data sets

Command ===> member isr* searches for members starting with ISR

member xyz x searches for member 'xyz' in excluded
data sets

member xyz recall1 searches for member 'xyz' in in data
sets migrated to DASD as well as not
migrated data sets

The data set list is scrolled so that the first data set containing the member or pattern is at the top of the list. Normally the MEMBER command will find any occurrence of the specified member name or pattern within a partitioned data set that is not migrated.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Unfortunately, my OS is OS/390 V2R10, it does not support the 'MEMBER' command.
So do u have any other way to reach the goal?
Anyway thanks a lot...

Hi Kolusu,

Thanks. I was using a REXX to find a particular member in a group of dataset. Now I came to know that v have a built-in function for the same. Thanks for letting me know that.

Also, I would like to know whether v can exclude the datasets in 3.4 list based on the message v get after executing the 'Member mem-name' command. Please let me know.

Hi adous_sq,

You can find the REXX routing which will satisfy your needs in
http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html

There download Findmod.txt in 'Execs/Clists' to ur mainframe and try executing it.

Hope that should not be problem.

Thanks & Regards,

Adous,
i m trying for REXX solution.
a. do u know how many datasets can appear in USER.SRC.*. I mean if you know that
the search output gives only

USER.SRC.TST1
USER.SRC.TST2
USER.SRC.TST3 (even 10 such PDSs, but their names should be known).

In such a case, you can simply check for SYSDSN against all such PDSs.

b. Now, if you dont know the output of USER.SRC.* , you can use

x = OUTTRAP('pds_list'.)

"LISTCAT LVL('USER.SRC') "

x = OUTTRAP('OFF')

Now, pds_list.0 will have the number of lines trapped (which is not imp), and pds_list.1 to the number in pds_list.0 will have the list of all the PDSes.

Next job is to select only the lines which have first word as 'NONVSAM' .
This way you will have a list of PDSs which qualify for USER.SRC.*
So now, you can use the SYSDSN command to check for your member's extistence.

Thanks all

[sathishgay]

For example, lets consider high level Qualifier as MYID.MYAPPLN.* and member as MYMEM
1. Go to 3.4 and list all PDS with MYID.MYAPPLN.*
2. Now issue, MEMBER MYMEM on the command line

THANKS AND REGARDS
