If you mean that you want to read a PROC from a PDS and list what files are used then it is usually a self written REXX.
Every shop has different standards, i.e. DISP=OLD means output, DISP=SHR means input. But of course the program might change and the JCL remains the same, so the validity of this is questionable. |

How do you know if a file in input or output without analysing the program code.
//TESTFILE DD DSN=dataset name,DISP=SHR
Is TESTFILE input or output ? |

DISP=SHR and DISP=OLD (Then test file is an input)
Output : DISP=NEW (Then test file is an output) |

No guarntee that above disp are used only for i/p. Even o/p can have such disp.

how about 'disp=mod', which can be used for i-o operations? |

| Even just getting a list of datasets from the proc's could be difficult with symbolic substitution. |
