JCL with CA-7 "schedule overrides"

Hi,

Is there any way to list JCL with CA-7 "schedule overrides" only (#JI, #JO cards)?
I could find nothing in CA-7 Maintenace DB Guide.
I ran GRAPHD and got number of jobs w/# overrides had running for certain period of time,
but I need total number of CA-7 jobs using such JCL. Is it possible?

Thank you.

Why not do an ISPF search of the job library for #J?

sorry, doesn't work.
use option 3 (UTILITIES), then 4 (DSLIST).
In library -- LOCATE string #JI and...
got bunch of JCL without Jcard.
What did I do wrong?

Thank you.

Oh, no luck at all
3.14 --> Search String .. #JI
Data Set Name ... 'library.name'

and received list of ALL members

What's wrong now?

Thanks for your time and efforts

Hello,

and received list of ALL members
Is this truly ALL of the members or just most members?

Is it possible that the every member does have #JI - even if it is not used/active/commented?

The dataset may have been set up to easily handle overrides, so the question may not be "does the value exist" but rather "is it active"?

Yes, ALL
It is Indicated Row 00001 of 07162


Using 3.4 gives me exactly the same number .

And we have about 5-7% members with JCL override, but I need exact number

What else can be done?

Thank you.

Hello,

Sounds like the value (#JI) is in every member. . .

How else may the 5-7% with overrides uniquely be identified?

As example my test JCL with #JI

//RSDELAY JOB (000025,10),PRCL,
// CLASS=C,MSGCLASS=2
/*ROUTE PRINT REDUCE
//*
//STEP999 EXEC UCC7TRLR
//TRLR.SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//TRLR.SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DATA,DLM=##
/LOGON
#JI,ID=10
DEMAND,JOB=RSTEST11,TIME=+0002,SCHID=10
#JEND

and another without, but both of them were selected

//RSWAIT60 JOB (000025,10),REG.,MSGCLASS=2,
// CLASS=C
/*ROUTE PRINT REDUCE
//*
//JSW20 EXEC MESSAGE,P='WAIT=60'
//SYSIN DD DUMMY,
// DCB=BUFNO=1
/*

I also tried search string UCC7TRLR - same result

When i search our ca7 library, it only returns info on the members that "match" the #JI. . .
