Just open your Joblog in browse mode & search for the dataset name. You should get the VOLUME too.

Hi Venkat,
You can view the SYSLOG with the option you use to viee your spool.
For ex I use S;ST to go to my spool. When I use S (only) on command line it takes me to a sceen like below
| Code: |
DA Active users
I Input queue
O Output queue
H Held output queue
ST Status of jobs
LOG System log
END Exit SDSF |
LOG (in the above) is the option to view your system log. You can check for a similar thing on your shop.
But I dont think System log will give you the volume info of a dataset. I tried checking for one, but couldn't find
Yes, Joblog will give you the volume information of a dataset you allocate in your job. Type 'S' against your job in yout job spool and search for the datset name. The volume information will be right below the datset. Something like below
DSN (SPEDDAM.SHIVA.OUTPUT2 )
STORCLAS (SCBASE) MGMTCLAS (MCBASE) DATACLAS (DCSMS)
VOL SER NOS= QLG051
Remember this is to find the volume information of a datset created in your job even with out a catalog option but not to find the volume info of a dataset created elsewhere.
Frnds, does anybody have an idea of how to find the volum info of an uncataloged dataset if we just know the name (I do not know when and where it is created. I just know the name of a dataset and that it exists on some volume and I want to on which volume it exists). I there a way to find this. All responses will be highly appreciated
Thanks

I am confused why system keeps cataloging (i.e. adds an entry in VTOC), though we mention DISP sub-parm as KEEP during creation of the file.
This poses the questions as to how KEEP works against CATLG, as far as VTOC entry addition is concerned, and how system keeps track of the KEEPed datasets.
Anyway, if I know the dataset name, I would use file-aid VTOC utility to search in a volume set (say, VOLUME SERIAL as DEV*, where DEV volumes contain all files in test environment).
Any more thoughts?
Regards,
Bharani. |

Hi ,
First of all I dont have option SYSLOG listed in my mainframe session.So i tried typing LOG in the command prompt.It said no sufficient authority to do the same.
In that case how do we know in which volume dataset got created .
Kindly help.
Thanks,
KS |

hi,
IF DISP=( NEW,KEEP,KEEP).THERE WILL BE NO ENTRY IN VTOC. IT LL SIMPLY KEEP IT AT ANY CASE...WITHOUT MAKING ANY CATALOG ENTRY.
HOPE THIS WLL HELP ATLEAST A BIT

Hi,
I think VTOC and Catalog are different...
Volume tabe of contents contains information about volumes. It shows the list of all datasets available in particular Volume
Catalog contains information about datasets...
I have come across the below
For new SMS managed dataset keep is same as catalog. But not sure which all comes under SMS and which all are NON SMS.
Also have come across that KEEP is very much valid for VSAM datasets, since it cannot be CATALGed, UNCATLGed etc...
But i dont have a clear idea..
Thanks
