I had copy library having 50 dataitems.

I had used 25 data items in procedure division. How to find out the unused data items in this division.

See the compiler listing. You will see expanded copybook there.From that you can know items you have used and which you have not.

Tell me if this addressed your question correctly.

HI venosol,

Checkout with your shop....There should be a tool that might help you. Or else u need to mannually check each and every Variable. Open in browse mode and find all gives your the count. If it is '1' ,t hen it is not used else where.

I agree with Abhijit, back in the "old'n" days, you could get a data division listing in actual real order and see the elementary and group items that had no reference from within the program....
