Hi,

If in the JCL, we have concatenated 3-4 loadlibs in JOBLIB parameter.
When the JCL gets submitted , then how can we check from which loadlib the program was picked up?

Example
Code:


//JOB0 JOB (DSN),GYLBHARAT,CLASS=Z,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),             
// MSGCLASS=L,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*                                                               
//JOBLIB   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.MODE.UNIT.LOADLIB             
//         DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.MODE.TEST.LOADLIB             
//         DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.MODE.PROD.LOADLIB             
//*                                                               
//*                                                               
//STEP001   EXEC PGM=COBOL12                                       
//*                                                               
//INPUT01   DD DSN=HLQ.MODE.INPUT,DISP=SHR         
//*                                                               
//OUTPUT01  DD DSN=HLQ.MODE.OUTPUT,                   
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                           
//             UNIT=SYSDA,                                         
//             SPACE=(CYL,(20,2),RLSE),                           
//             DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)                 
//*                                                               
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                                           


In the above JCL, How to check from the JCL output that from which loadlib the Program COBOL12 was picked up?

I know the program will be picked up from the 1st loadlib which contains the program. Just want to know if we can see this same information in JCL messages also?

DSLIST for above dataset and use M membername

You will find where your member is.

You need to revise concept of dataset concatination.

NO


Thanks enrico. But like in 3.14 search option, if we concatenate the datasets then the output shows from which pds the string has been found.

Just wanted to know if there is some thing similar in JCL messages also.

Hi Dick,

I checked the JCLMESSAGES but not able to figure out which loadlib was used by the program.

jcl message[s] will not tell because at the time the load takes place JCL is out of the show

To reiterate enrico's ORIGINAL reply to your post, there is no way to determine from the JCL messages which load llibrary was used to retrieve a particular program -- if any of them were.

Hello,

I should know better, but why does it matter which library the module was loaded from? It will always be the library named earlier in the concatenation list. If the module was in all 3 in your example, it will be loaded from the first dataset. . .

Keep in mind the the module also may have been loaded from a library not in the JOBLIB concatenation. . .

I don't know if it is a help for what you want, but with Cobol I'd always do this, "at the top" of the program (in a sub-program, ensure it only executes once :-) ).

Code:
01 W-WHEN-COMPILED PIC X(8)BX(8).

MOVE WHEN-COMPILED TO W-WHEN-COMPILED
DISPLAY "BBHEXD This program compiled on " W-WHEN-COMPILED


Then, when someone comes along with a somesort-of-test-query from the somesort-of-test-run four days ago, I could always check which program was used for that run (by matching up the date of the compile reported to the compile listing - or browse the load-libraries, starting from the top, to find the compile date in the load module).

Saved me looking at the wrong thing many-a-time - "of course it didn't work, it's using the prod code!"
