Is there any Command in CLIST or REXX to know whether any Particular Dataset is in use or not?

Hi Nallapureddy,
if I have understood correctly...
This will work for you..
TSO WHOHAS 'YOUR.DATASET.NAME' this command is going to tell you
if any job/or user holding 'YOUR.DATASET.NAME' |

also if you are trying to edit a sequential ds and somebody is already editing it
you'll get a dataset in use msg . press F1 and you will have a list of users enqueueing your ds. |

I know how to do it in ISPF.
Step1-> TSO ISRDDN or go to option 6 in ISPF.
Step2-> In that give ENQ in the command Line, a screen will popup
Step3-> infront of Minor name prefix option, Enter Dataset name (See the screen shot. )
Step4-> Hit enter
You get the list of all jobs currently using the dataset.
hope it helps. |

Hello,
Most of those suggestions are how to find "who" has the dataset.
The original question is

I may be mis-understanding, but the posted question appears to want to do this in code - not after getting an "in use" message from tso/ispf. . . |

This is how I would do it:
1. Write REXX exec to capture the dataset name;
2. Invoke edit-macro internally, using the EDIT service;
3. Capture and interpret the return code from the edit-macro.
4. Display a message.

Use REXX built-in function SYSDSN to find whether the dataset is available for your use.
eg; x = SYSDSN("'proj5.rexx.exec'") |

ARG FILENAME
FILECODE = SYSDSN("'"FILENAME"'")
IF FILECODE = 'OK'
THEN DO
RTRNCODE = 8
END
ELSE DO
RTRNCODE = 0
END |

A few remarks
The poster wants to know how to find out if a dataset is in use..
>> if somebody else has it allocated
WHOHAS is certainly a local tool
SYSDSN will only return info on the dataset existance
a trick that could be used is to
allocate it with disposition OLD in order to get exclusive control on it,
if the allocation fails then it is in use, to find out about users holding it
then other tools are needed.
regards

you need to read up on SYSDSN as it will tell you if the dataset
is in use. |

The OP asked for dataset in use, not exclusive enq only |

ISPEXEC QUERYENQ is described in the ISPF Services Guide.
It will tell you if a dataset is in use. |
