How to find all the datasets created by batch

hi

is there any means of getting the names of all the datasets created and existing in the system.
my problem is i want to check for some value in all the datasets that are created by the batch. some 200+ jobs are running in batch and thousands of datasets are getting created. i want to get the names of all these datasets ( other than by going to each proc and seeing the datset manually ).

It could be a slow process, but you can use option 3.4 (DSLIST) and list the data sets by coding A* for all datasets starting with A, B* for all data
sets starting with B.

Depending on the size of the system catalogue, you may not be able to bring all of the data sets in a display.

R the datasets are of production? You can use a wildcard to refer all the datasets.
If soooo...the schduler might help you to find out what are the datasets creating thru Jobs.

hi vamsi

the datsets are of production itself. but i dont understand what u mean by 'wildcard'.
also can u explain how the scheduler can be used to find out all the datasets created...

Another approach is to write a XREF utility program in few minutes to read JCL procs from endevor or MVS lib and display Job/Step/DSN=... with suitable conditions.
