We use SMF data to see who had a dataset OPEN for OUTPUT or UPDATE. Processing SMF data can be difficult due to formats used (variable length sections with OFFSET, LEN flags).

Yes, SMF is the only way to do this.

Fortunately the type 15 records are fairly easy to disect.

If you have SAS available here's the code to get you what you want

Could you please tell us how the JCL will look like if want to see who has updated the dataset say 'NUSOM12.ADDACS.CODE" last time?

IMHO, not a good idea believe JCL is the panacea for all our problems.

I guess the JCL would be the same as for the previous requirement - just need to change the dataset names to match your own shop. Your SAS code will change as you will be searching for a different dataset name from the OP.
