JCL to list PROCs and Parms used in a set of jobs

Hi,
I need to list all the procs and parms used in my application (Around 100 jobs). Could anyone tell me what utility supports this? Instead of going and searching in each job, if a code is there to do that, that will be of great help.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
I need a code to do this, instead of using ISPF search facility.

I can write code for you but I need money to do this. Preferrably cash..

If you want to write it yourself then suggestions will be offered for free.
Tell us more about your requirement so that we can offer better suggestions.

Sounds great.. I have about 100 JCLs and each JCL will call atleast one PROC. Also, each PROC may use more than 2 Parms. I need to catch all Parms used by a particular PROC and all PROCs used by a particular JCL. And, this is i need for all the JCLs.

Any idea?

If this is requirement is one time task then there is FILE-AID for your help. As it will give MEMBER name and the 'hit' as formatted o/p.

Finding procs-
Do a search on JCL for word 'EXEC'.
Exclude lines which contain word PGM (As you only want PROCS).

For parameters -
Parameters used in proc will be preceeded by &, so find for &.
Exclude lines with && as those will be temporary files.

This is first approach which came to my mind. I have tried to give you pointers. let me know if it was of any help.

Well! Its a repetetive task and so background option will be of great help. Let me know if you have suggestions.

Also, Parm i mean is parameter and not the symbolic.

Follow Abhijith suggestion with little modification for parms. Search for PARM instead of & (as suggested).

Use a dataset for SYSIN instead of instream data.
