You can write a REXX, using ISPF services, like LMMLIST, LMMFIND etc.

Hi,

Go to 3.4 type your PDS name then type m xyz

if you don't know the complete PDS name and if you type XYZ.*.* it will list you all the PDS with higher qualifier. Then type M xyz it will show you the member in which PDS it resides.

Hi,

Just open the list of PDS which u r working by using 3.4 option ..
Example

Go to ==> 3.4

then give the PDS name's like a.*.*

Then it will open the list of datasets A.B.C and A.K.L

Then in the command line type MEM member name...
Example MEM program1.

Then it will show the all the PDS which contains that particular menber

Thanks,.

Hello,
You no need to give entire PDS name in 3.4 option.
As per Previous replies, Give only the Highlevel Qualifier in 3.4 option. Definitely, you should know the high level qualifier of all your PDS.

For example, if all your PDS name start with your Userid means, your userid will be your high level qualifier.

In 3.4, give userid.* , then all the dataset will be displayed. Then issue the command m <member name> in the command line.

On the right side of the PDS, "Member Found" will be displayed, if that Dataset contains that member.

I think you will be clear now...
