Hello,

Can anybody suggest a means of finding a member in set of datasets when the High Level Qualifier is known?

For example, if there is a member MEM1 in one or many of the datasets of the pattern, HLQ1.*.*. How to locate the exact dataset ?

Regards,

Hi,
What you can do is this

1. In 3.4 give the names of your high level qualifier say TEST.*
2. This will list out all the PDS starting with TEST.
3. Now in ur command prompt type MEMBER 'MEMBER NAME u want'
4. The PDSs which have this member will have a displayed 'MEMBER' against them.

Hope this helps

Cheers!!
Puru

Puru,

I got 'INVALID COMMAND' when I tried member command.

MEMBER was introduced in z/OS 1.2. The FINDMEM exec does basically the same thing.

Thanks semigeezer,

But, my bad luck, even FINDMEM is not working.

Hi Dorkhead,

These are the messages I am getting

Command ===> MEMBER 'STACK'
Message: Invalid command

Command ===> tso findmem STACK
Message: IKJ56500I COMMAND FINDMEM NOT FOUND

Thanks,
Diba.

Sorry,

I didn't read completely the link 'FINDMEM Exec' provided by semigeezer. I thought it is some TSO command and tried it without writing the exec.
