Hi,
I was just trying the SYSBPM utility. There is an option Write to work file (w) availble. When I selected that option giving the program name and lib name, I got a message that 100 lines were written to the work file 1.
Where can I see this work file 1?

I tried to see the work file 1 using SYSFILE. But I am not able to read the content of this file.

Please help.

Thanks.

If you are under TSO,the work file is CMWKF01 (this is the logical DD name). Use ISRDDN to find the physical dataset name.

Under CICS, work files allocation is usually done using the TD Queue mechanism, but it is different from site to site. Ask your system guys.

Hello,

Quote: Could you please tell me little elaborately about ISRDDN and where I can search this? From the IBM material: Quote: ISRDDN is a utility that assists IBM support in evaluating and solving problems. It provides a list of allocated DD names, a list of system ENQs, a list of data sets causing system ENQ contention, and a means of viewing storage within a TSO user's address space. ISRDDN also provides some facilities for gathering information about your system environment.
Use of ISRDDN is partially or completely restricted on some systems.
