How to find the Owner of a PS Dataset ? ?

You can find the id in the OWNER Column.

Use TSO WHOIS ID to get the owner name - But here you might get the name of the person who has modified recently

Hi senman,
I do not see the owner attribute when i go to 3.4 and press f11 in the mainframe i use. Is this something customized for you? Can you send the screenshot please?

Hi Senman,

As Sahoo replied, i am not able to see the owner attribute when i go to 3.4 and press f11 in the mainframe i use.

Tracks % , XT Device , Dsorg , Recfm , Lrecl , Blksz , Created , Expires , Referred , Catalog are the info that i get when i press f11 in 3.4

Could you please send the screenshot for the owner field. should we customize for the same. if so, inform us how to do.

Thank you,
Regards,
Praveena.

the OWNER ( GROUP/USER ) of a(ny) dataset can be inferred by the High level qualifier
looking at the organization standards for data security/classification...

but in the mvs/zOS terminology there is not such a thing as OWNER

the closest thing ( still a wrong concept IMHO ) is the userid who allocated the dataset...
( but that does not make him/her the OWNER )

USS is a completely different beast in this aspect

But even the userid who allocated the dataset is not available which will solve the purpose.
Please confirm, if we can find the userid who allocated.

If you have SMF data for the date the dataset was created, you can run through the SMF records to identify the user id or batch job that allocated the dataset. If the SMF data is not available, you cannot identify the user id that allocated the dataset.
