Any one has a REXX to find who is using a dataset currently.

Hi,
There must be a clist already coded for this,

you can try TSO WHOHAS 'abcd.xyz.dataset'

if you are in TSO Command (6 option from primary ISPF)
then simply type WHOHAS 'abcd.xyz.dataset'

I think that TSO WHOHAS is not a standard of IBM, I tried but for me it doesn't work.
If it's tha same for you try with TSODSN and outtrap the message.
Command is TSO TSODSN 'filename'

P.S.=I can't assure your that this is official...

both did not work for me

The WHOHAS utility is a shareware program that you should be able to locate from an Internet search. Also, sangiah, the other posts you made in this forum are also shareware programs that you should be able to locate. I'd ask your Systems Programming folks first. Maybe they would know where to find them.

For what it's worth, you can, of course find who is using a dataset by entering HELP when you receive the error message that the dataset is in use. Also, you can always contact one of your operators in the Data Center. This can also be determined by issuing a specific MVS command at the Master Console.

As SUPERK said here....

Ok, mystery bypassed through a console command:

priyesh.agrawal

In case of a VSAM dataset pressing F1 twice doesn't work.

How can we know the job/user using VSAM Dataset.

MGIndaco,

How to run this console command you gave below ?

Hi Priyesh,

It may be shop dependent. It is working for me.

Hi Priyesh.
Put the PROC into a SYSPROC library concatenated or in your library and type EX near the member to execute it.(If you put it in a concatenated library you can also call it with the command TSO xxx <- name of the member given to it)

Thanks MGIndaco,

I executed it...But was not authorized to use OPERATOR Command.

YOUR INSTALLATION MUST AUTHORIZE USE OF OPERATOR COMMAND

Well, Thanks a lot for the help...

Hit & Trial worked for me.....& I got TSO WHO working fine for me.....

Regards,

Priyesh.

This is another sample of PROC that does not use OPER:
