Can we find specific member without knowing the name of PDS or can we search a member to which PDS ..

Answer / pavan

We can find the dataset which is having the perticular member.
But you have list out all the datasets using 3.4.

EX: Suppose if your ID is starting with UCS5..then give
UCS5.** in 3.4......You will get the list of the datasets.
Then use command like below. Here member is "MAIN"

Command ==> M MAIN

"M" is the command to find the member in the datasets.

Answer / muttaiah

@Jagan:

Work bench might be a tool in your project. Never divert
people in this way. because the same tool may or may not be
available in some projects..

Best way is to list all the datasets in 3.4 option.

Give M <member name> or Member <membername>

Answer / shekar

If the member is in one of the allocated datasets, then the
following REXX would help you:

/* REXX COMMAND TO search the member in the allocated
dataset */
arg
mem

mem = strip
(mem)

say ' '

if (mem = '' | mem = ' ')
then

do

say 'please give the member to be searched as
argument'

exit


end



/*trace
I*/

call on
error

ADDRESS ISPEXEC "CONTROL ERRORS
RETURN"
call
outtrap "LINE."

ADDRESS
TSO "LISTALC"

call
outtrap "OFF"

say mem
N = line.0
a = 0

ADDRESS TSOEXEC
do I = 1 to N
dataset = line.i
fullds = "'"dataset"("MEM")'"
foundmem = SYSDSN(fullds)
if foundmem = 'OK' then
do
a = a + 1
say '"'MEM'" is found in "'dataset'"'
end
end
if a = 0
then
say '"'MEM'" is not found in list of allocated
datasets'
exit

Answer / jagan

For searching a particular member to which PDS it belongs we
can check it in the workbench option 23...
In TSO Prompt enter > wb;;23 and enter the member name which
helps you find the PDS to which the member belongs too...
