Hi,
I am using test. load and prod .load in the steplib. How to display in job from which load the pgm was executed.
The real situation is like this " the steplib is defined
//STEPLIB DD DSN=test.load,disp=shr
// DD DSN=prod.load,disp=shr
while testing my program was in test.load .But after the job got executed some one accidentally deleted the load from test. Now I have convince my client that the pgm was taken from test.load. since I am taking the XDC of job, is there any anyway to display this in job itself?

In the job log there is message which displays from which library the proc was picked up, but i'm not sure whether it displays from which load lib the module was executed.

You can put some unique display message in your program source code and thats the proof to say that your program got executed.

Hello,

Some sites require a "version/release" indicator and date/time be hardcoded into the Working-Storage each time the program is changed. On each execution, the values for these fields are places in one of the sysout datasets - this is similar to the info that is printed by some purchased products (as i believe Syncsort does).

After a job is run, one way to determine which loadlib was actually used is via the SMF records. If you talk with your system support people, they may have a job that is close to what you need or they can tell you how to retrieve the info yourself.
