Hi,

I have a list of jobs (all jobs in our library) and need to find out from CA7, when the job ran last (or whether job had any run in last 1 year). Is there any way of getting this information from CA7? This would help us to remove the source code and JCLs from library, if job has not ran since 1 year. I searched through the forum but was not able to get any. Can someone guide me on this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

--- Andy

Hello,

Many organizations run monthly reports from their SMF data that shows all of the jobs run for that month. These are usually archived online for a period of time. Also, an extract file of job-related information is often created and kept for some period of time.

Suggest you ask the system support people if such is retained on your system.

Hi,

Sample JCL for Robert's batch suggestion

Code:
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=SASSBSTR                                                 
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=XXXX.YYY.CAILOAD,DISP=SHR             
//SYSPRINT DD  DSN=OUTPUT.FILE,DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE),
//             DCB=(DSORG=PS,RECFM=FBA,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0),   
//             UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,10),RLSE)           
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*                                       
//BATCHIN  DD  DSN=XXXX.BATCHI#1,DISP=SHR           
//BATCHOUT DD  DSN=YYYY.BATCHO#1,DISP=SHR           
//UCC7CMDS DD  DSN=ZZZZ.COMMDS,DISP=SHR             
//SYSIN    DD  *                                               
/LOGON USERID,PASSWORD                                       
/UID,R=SYSTEM ID                                                   
LJOB,LIST=NODD,JOB=YOUR JOB*                                       
/LOGOFF                                                       
/*


Sysprint DD has the output of the ca7 commands on SYSIN, you could process the output file and it has the last run date on the job, with time as well.

Hope it helps.
