Basically, I want to search every member in a PDS. Within each member I want to identify DD statements that catalog a dataset with a specified length.
When that criteria is is met I want to write a record to an output file. I want the output grouped first by member name, then by STEP name, then by DD name. Also, I want to identify the SYSIN member when an EXEC statement executes a utility. I want this job to work with any piece of JCL. This is how I see the output:

Yes, it's possible. I'm doubtful that it would be easy, though.

It is certainly possible to write this (it is only code Smile

) and it would be easy, if a bit tedious, to do for inline JCL. However, if you are calling PROCs and have to resolve step names within procs, then it will become much more complex.

The easiest ways that come to mind are ISPF services (LMMLIST for names, edit macros for searches, etc) or straight Rexx (DSLIST for names, EXECIO for searches). Then you'd use the DSLIST command or similar to get the particular info.

I suspect that if you have one of those products that does JCL scanning, it might produce reports you can use, but I've never seen one of those products so I can't say for sure.

hmm... I'm new to Rexx. Does any one have a REXX script/program that has some of the logic I am looking for? I'm not really picky about the format of the output. This may be easier:

JCLCheck provides a powerfull REXX interface. You can invoke it as a user-exit when scanning the JCL. During invocation, JCLCheck creates REXX variables with valuable data like: PROCNAME, STEPNAME, DSNAME, DISP etc.

To invoke this user exit, you simply run JCLCheck with the STDREXX parameter.
