I found the panel name using the PANELID command.

On trying to find the PDS on which the panel resides, I found that there is more than one datasets having the panel-id. I tried to find the panel-id in the datasets listed using TSO ISRDDN command.

Is there any way to find which library's panel member is actually being used to display the panel?

The highest placed concatenation library will be the one.

e.g.
Code:

//ISPPLIB  DD DSN=Library1
//         DD DSN=Library2
//         DD DSN=Library3
//         DD DSN=Library4

If the panel exists in Library1 and Library 3 the one in Library1 will be used. Unless of course you have used a LIBDEF statement to allocate other libraries that contain the member.

Did ISRDDN work OK for you? Using the ISRDDN command M membername is the easiest. Then select the library highest in the concatenation, as expat mentioned.

There is a chance that there are LIBDEFs for ISPPLIB. The panel might be coming from that panel library.

you can go and view the panel code, to see exactly which one you are looking for.

Thanks,
Ajay

i agree with all above post. Just thought of posting one more method here

Code:
TSO ISRFIND

: then give the name of the Panel which showed in PANELID

ISRFIND is more useful when u need to expand the search to LINKLIST , APF etc

I am having only limited knowledge on this. So correct me if i am wrong.

ISRDDN is more powerfull and sophisticated debugging tool (with its function like storage, con, enq, load etc) compared to ISRFIND which is a simple member locator.

i just meant the user friendliness for this particular requirement. In ISRFIND you can give the Member name to find and opt to extend search to in LPA, LINKLIST areas for load modules. Where as in ISRDDN you have to load pseudo-ddname before issuing Member command or provide DDSTRING along with Member command (as far as i know) .

----------------------
ISRFIND will call program AMBLIST to map the LPA and put the LPA map in a file. ISRFIND then checks the LPA map file and will note if the
load module is in the FIXED, MODIFIED, or PAGEABLE LPA, and
display the entry point address. ISRFIND also use system control
blocks to determine the LPALST and LINKLST data sets set up at
the last IPL and list all occurrences of the load modules in
those data sets.
ISRFIND other additional benefits would be SAVE result, see full info etc moreover its a REXX which can be modified as per wish.

Where ISRDDN is IBM suppied load module which uses ISPF LM services.
