DSPLSTUSE Display Last Use

DSPLSTUSE DISPLAY LAST USE TAAOBLF
The Display Last Use command displays or prints a listing of one line per object in a library identifying the create date, the last used date, and the use count. Objects that have never been used are always listed. An option exists to list those objects that have not been used prior to a specified number of days. DSPLSTUSE helps determines what objects may be deleted because of lack of use. A typical command would be: DSPLSTUSE LIB(xxx) OMITDAYS(365) A display would appear with one line per object if the object has never been used or not used in the last 365 days. Objects created from source --------------------------- If an object should be deleted that was created from source, you may also want to delete the source member used for the create step. If so, consider the following TAA commands: DLTPGMSRC DLTFSRC DLTCMDSRC These special DLT commands will delete both the object and the source member if the member still exists where the object was created from. If you want to save the source prior to deleting it, consider the use of the Source Archive (SRCARC) tool which will archive the source if the archive version is not current. If the source is needed after you have removed the member with a command such as DLTPGMSRC, you can retrieve the last captured version with the WRKSRCARC command. The SRCARC tool provides a more efficient method of retaining and backing up source than normal source members. Normal source members require a member header, a minimum amount of allocated space, and require a slower backup process. The SRCARC tool compresses the source and stores all data in a single member. DSPLSTUSE escape messages you can monitor for --------------------------------------------- None. Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent. Command parameters *CMD ------------------ LIB The library to print a listing of objects from. OMITDAYS An option to omit objects if they have been used within the number of days specified. Objects that have never been used are always listed. The default is *NONE meaning all objects are listed. If a value is entered, the only objects that will be listed are those that have never been used or last used prior to the number of days specified. OUTPUT How to output the results. * is the default to display the spooled file if the command is entered interactively. The spooled file is deleted after it is displayed. If the command is entered in batch or *PRINT is specified, the spooled file is output and retained. Restrictions ------------ None.
