Hi All,
How can I find a user name (TSO ID) using a member file..since it blocks me from editing the file...I know there is a command but can recollect it...

Thanks
Amit

Hello amitraja,

at 3.4
select the dataset you wish to edit...if it says...member in use....press F1 twice...

It will show you the Data Set Contention Screen...with the userid using it.

Hope this helps

Regards

try below command line command if your shop supports

TSO WHOHAS 'DSN NAME' on command line

or WHOHAS against the dataset in ISPF 3.4 panel

Hi,
In batch processing it is not possible that different users will use same mainframe ids at the same time
In on line processing like CICS it is possible
