How to check just by seeing the JCL that whether this job is dataset triggered or not?

You cannot do it,
only the scheduler rules do know that

Can someone post the definition of 'dataset triggered'?

if you have access to scheduler like CA7, you can query a job and find dataset dependencies

Hi,

try using the command

LJOB,JOB=JOBNAME,LIST=NODD

check whether any DSN is listed under
"TRIGGERED BY JOBS/DATASETS/NETWORKS"

Regards,
Chinna.

Hi..

You can use commands LQ,JOB=JOBNAME,LIST=ALL/RQMT/TRIGG to know what are the dependencies for the above mentioned jobname which are in queue in CA-7 and LJOB,JOB=JOBNAME,LIST=ALL/RQMT/TRIGG to know if the jobs are not in queue.

You will find a list of Requirements/triggered by clauses as soon as you run the above commands in CA7.

Thanks...

Hello Sanjay,

Just to confirm - as Enrico first posted. . .

You cannot tell if a job is dataset triggered by looking at the jcl.
