Ask the Systems Programmers who support that site. They should have a ready-made list of all of the installed third-party or optional software.

Thanks for the reply superk.

I was thinking in can be checked by some means, thru jcl or some other ISPF or TSO options.

Thanks for that.

Do an ISRDDN at command 6.
you will get the list of all the system libraries.
All the system things are in those libs.

ICEMAN is just a name you can use to invoke the sort product installed at your site.

To determine whether you have DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, or another sort product, run the following job:

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
   OPTION COPY
/*


Look at the //SYSOUT messages. If the messages start with ICE (e.g. ICE000I), you have DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL. If they start with WER, you have Syncsort. If they start with CAS, you have CA-Sort.

I believe the IEB and IEH utilities are always available with z/OS (unless your System Programmer has done something odd to disable them). You can find complete details on these utilities at:
