Hi,

I have a project containing about 250 jobs and i need a list of jobs using the hash file 'xyz.hs' , how can i find this ????

Same as above case but using a seq file 'xyz.dat', how to know the job names???

Is the name hard-coded in the job ?

Yes it is hard coded.

Export the jobs from the project and run a command/script over them to return the job names where a match is made. There may be a method you can use over the back-end Universe tables too, though I'd doubt whether that level of job detail is held in there.

Chuck Smith has some tools that would help. For this, specifically the 'List all files and tables' one - I've tweaked my copy to load the results into a database table so it can be easily queried.

In DS 8.x you have a a feature called Impact analysis that would solve your probelem, however, as you are working with version 7.x you need to do some extra work.
I should do the follow:
1 - Create a customized .xsl file (stylesheet) to transform the xml
2 - Export the project to xml, during the export process you have to select your customized xsl file (made on step 1), to select the your .xsl file, press the options button (export options) and in the tree under XML node you'll see a stylesheet option, activate the flag "include the reference to style sheet in document" and in Reference point to the.xsl file path then Export the project.
3 - once the project is exported to XML open the XMl file with Internet explorer, in my case I export this to pdf files.
4 - If you have problems to create the .xsl, let me know.
I can't remember if all steps are exacly the same in version 7.x as I don't work with this version for a couple years.

Is there not any meathod with the UV tables???

Sure, search the forums here for DS_JOBOBJECTS and you should find something close that you could adjust to suit your need.
