I am using a utility to view some type of records. Say the name of that utility is "ABC". When I open the file and enter ABC in the command prompt, the utility will unpack the records and displays the name of the fields and their corresponding values.
I want to know where from this utility is picked up. Will it pick up from the loadlibrary mentioned in the pds MYUSERID.CLIST or else from some other PDS?.
I know my question is kind of vague. But I want someone to tell me how to find the load library from where this utility is picked from i.e how to map these type of commands I give in command prompt to the loaction from where these utilities are picked up.

I am fairly certain that when editing a dataset through an ISPF panel that you really mean to say is 'command line'
however, on the command LINE type ISRDDN
Look for the DDNAMES SYSPROC and SYSEXEC
The CLIST / REXX command will almost certainly be located in one of the datasets allocated to those DDnames unless an ALTLIB is in operation.

Not sure what you mean by the 'mentioned in the' part of your question.
'Utility' is a broad term. It might be a program or an exec.
The LIBDEF section of ISPF Services Guide has a table that describes the search order:
Job Pack Area
ISPLUSR LIBDEF
ISPLLIB
STEPLIB
Link Pack Area
LINKLIB
