Hi,
I'm not sure if I've understood your question, would you mind explaining it further, please?

I agree with Anuj that this is not clear what are you asking?

I think I confused my self.
But I was asking how can I find a copybook using ISPF 3.14 and 3.16, is there a difference?

3.14 is the search utility which will let you find particular strings within the members of a PDS. If you give it the name of your copybook PDS and, say, a full or partial field name you want to find then 3.14 will report a list of members that match. 3.15 is the same tool but with more options available.
3.16 is the ISPF table utility. Under the dialog managment side of ISPF you can create a table. This, functionally speaking, sits somewhere between VSAM and DB2 in that you define the table with a named list of fields but you access it with the ISPF API rather than SQL. Each table sits within a PDS member using an ISPF-specific file format. 3.16 lets you look at one of those table members in a readable format. It's not the sort of thing that you would use to store a copybook.
