SMF record type 61 will tell you the creator of the dataset.

The relevent links follow:

hi Amit,

Everyshop should have itz own method of finding the JOB/proc/Program which creates a Dataset.

TSO DTXREF/ TSO XREFDSN..etc are few of them for the same purpose.

If your shop have a schdular like CA-7....
You can get the information with the command
LQ DSN=ur.dsn.name.

Can't recall the Command. Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi,

If ur shop has PDSMAN, it will contain EZ option, where u can give ur freequently using libraries.

U can take ur production PRCLIB and give the scan for required dataset.

This is what we do in our work place.

Thank you,

By default SMF61 will supply the jobname that created the dataset not the userid of the person who created it.

1. In CA-7 screen, type LDSN,DSN=<dsn-name>,list=all
2. If dataset in tape, we can find the date and job which created it through TMS (Tape Management Subsystem)
