Subject: VSAM dataset in USE? WHO?

Hi All,

	Last night we had a problem deleting a VSAM KSDS file during our
nightly processing. The delete and define job cancels with a return code
of 16. When I looked at the listing the file could not be deleted
because it is in use some where else. Does anyone have a program or REXX
script that they are willing to share that could tell me who has the
file? I have looked at the "Hints and Tips for z/VSE" manual and it
seems like a lot of hoops to go thru to find out who using the file. We
had our production CICS/TS down at time which is the only online system
that could be using the file.

Thanks in advance.
