Hi,
Is there any possibility to find out the account info of a file that got created ?

We are using diffrent account info(of diffrent customers) in the JCL to create datasets,now some one asked us to find out the datasets that got created under some account ? Is there any possibility to figure it out ?

Thanks
Bprasanna

Do you mean the account info in the job card? I'm not aware of anything that will tie this to dataset creation. Maybe there is but this sounds like a poor way to try manage dataset ownership (if that is the intent). Especially since datasets can be created outside of batch.

The only way I can think of is using SMF records which will (hopefully - depending on your systems settings) record job accounting information and dataset creation information.

Just a question of getting the right info from each SMF record type and merging it up together.

If you have a performance and capacity group - it is possible that they have already extracted all of the information required, just leaving the task of merging the data to produce the desired results.
