If your shop has SMS, datasets are backed-up regularly..They are done only when there is a change done to the dataset..So finding the last back-up date would give you the last updated date on the dataset..

This is done using ISPF option 6..

Type HLIST DS('DATASET.NAME') BCDS.. This would give us the last back-up date for the dataset..

Thanks,
Karthik

Karthik,

I tried the above command for a dataset which I have edited today (Dec, 03, 2002). But I got the Last Backup date as Dec, 02, 2002.

Jeba,
I think back-ups are taken only by the end-of-day..So I guess your's showed Dec02 instead of Dec03..

Thanks,
