5.2.8 TSO Batch Data Set Name File (TSO_BD)

The TSO Batch Data Set Name File (TSO_BD) enables you to
audit data sets and members of partitioned data sets that are
accessed in batch TSO steps.

The TSO_BD file logs data set access activity by SYSID, YEAR,
MONTH, WEEK, DAY, HOUR, and ENDTS.  The USERID (JOBNAME),
primary function and subfunction, data set name, and member
name are also kept in this file.

Because the TSO_BD file is derived from the TSO/MON Command
Record (199) at Releases 5.2 and higher, the TSO_BD file is
delivered inactive by default.

The following sections describe the file's organization, list
the data elements maintained, and provide usage hints.
