Which parmlib/proclib library has my member?

I wanted to find which IGDSMS00 member in parmlib was being used.

You can use SDSF (where I use “s” in ispf to get to sdsf)

s;parm

(You can do the same with s;proc)

This lists the parmlib concatenation

COMMAND INPUT ===>                                      CROLL ===> CSR
NP   DSNAME            Seq VolSer BlkSize Extent SMS LRecL DSOrg RecFm 
__   USER.Z31B.PARMLIB   1 B3CFG1    6160      1 NO     80 PO    FB    
__   FEU.Z31B.PARMLIB    2 B3CFG1    6160      1 NO     80 PO    FB    
__   ADCD.Z31B.PARMLIB   3 B3SYS1    6160      1 NO     80 PO    FB    
__   SYS1.PARMLIB        4 B3RES1   27920      1 NO     80 PO    FB    

You can use the line command sv or se (for view or edit) on the data set to list the members of the data set.

I then used the edit comand s IGDSMS00 to edit the member directly, or loc IGDSMS to find the first member matching the string.

Search for the member

When you’ve displayed the list of data sets in parmlib you can issue a command like

SRCH CONSOLCP

If the member is found the data set will be displayed in white,if it is not found, it will be displayed in blue.

You can also use

SRCH CONSOL*

and get output like

Where it has colour coded the data sets, and the searched for member name is on the right end of the line. (Blue not found
