Some sample code from seachsap site.
Have you ever wondered where your TVARV variables are being used in your batch jobs? How do you know if they change, and the impact it may have on your interfaces? The program below will provide a listing for you.
The program uses Job Count (job id) as the key versus Job Name as job names can be redundant. The code was written in R/3 v.4.6C, but should work in 3.x versions as well.
Code
PROGRAM: ZCAUS_EXTRACT_REPORT_VARIABLES
AUTHOR:  DYLAN HACK
CREATE DATE: 10/09/2002
PURPOSE: This program was developed to extract all jobs based on the
         "Job Status" selection criteria and find the relevant TVARV
         variable entries. Then the report can be downloaded and
         sorted on selection variables. Ultimate purpose is to know
         what jobs are affected by the individual TVARV variables.
         If a job exists but does not have a corresponding entry/use
         of a TVARV variable, it will not get listed.
JOB STATUS LEGEND:
R: job step running.
Y: job step ready (eligible to run, waiting for a work process).
P: job step scheduled.
S: job step released (eligible to run when the start condition of the
   job is fulfilled).
A: job step aborted.
F: job step successfully finished.
Z: system upgrade in progress, only upgrade-related jobs are allowed
   to run. Jobs and job steps with this status are ignored by the
   scheduler.
X: unknown status detected.
