Hi,
If someone submits a JCL from His personel PDS(outside the scheduler),how to find the PDS(library) where the Original JCL resides??

Is it even possible to find it straight up? All your requests go to JES2/JES3, which is a sub-system, an entity separate from your storage. I don't think JES2 has a tracking mechanism to record the origin of the requests made.. or does it?
Even if a job is submitted through a scheduler, you can't see the origin of submit through JES2.

However, if there is any proc used in the JCL, JESYSMSG will tell you where the proc was picked from.

For your problem, since the owner (user ID) who submitted the job can be identified from job log, can't you scan the user ID to find out the JCL library (s)he was using?

Regards,
Bharani.

Bharani,
if the job sumitted thru a scheduler For Eg(ESP) we can find the JCL Library where from it copied Like below.

//* JCL COPIED TO XXXXED.PRODXXXX.ESPCOPY
//* JCL FROM XXXXX.T0X.EXECLIB(XXXXC5415)

But my concern is to find the Jcllibrary of the job which submitted outside the scheduler.

I apologize. I didn't verify my scheduler job properly. Even my scheduler (CA-7) contains the JCL library. But since these comment lines are inserted by schedulers, I am not sure if it's possible to retrieve the JCL library purely using JES2 log, since I am an application programmer.
