My first take was to use GTF, but it's probably cleaner to use an exit that MVS 
calls regardless of which SVC is used to fetch the module.

Subject: LOAD/LINK exit

Folks:

I seem to recall that there is a way to look at a LOAD/FETCH via
an exit.

But CSV also stands for comma separated values among other things
and I keep getting a large number of false positives. None
seemingly to do with the MVS Contents Supervisor (maker of CDE
chains and the like, right?).

I've been looking at the MVS Installation Exits and some other
books for a way to do what I need.

We know that SMF records are produced for the PGM= module/event
in a JOB. We know of no such record produced for LOAD and
equivalent.

What we need is a way to see what is being pulled into address
spaces. We are trying to find all the subroutines being used. And
I don't think STEPLIBs are included with the LLA Exits.

Now we have a way to scan all the Linkedit listings (that we
capture), but we are looking for what one might call "dynamic"
loads.

It is an effort to do self-audit and over time get rid of
software (especially in-house written OLD subroutines) we aren't
using/don't need.

I'm sure we aren't the first to need this.

And I do not want to go write an SVC intercept program to look
for things like this.... Shades of DUO360... ouch.

If you have any suggestions on this, or if you know of an ISV
product that will do this, I think my management will be interested.

Regards,
Steve Thompson
