It actually depends on how the member was deleted - sadly many tools will only delete the base (generation 0) member and leave the non-zero generations alone. However if that is the case then you need a tool that can display those non-zero generations as, once again, many tools will ignore them (such as the default ISPF browse/edit/view).
The Review command (cbttape file 134) will show the generations as well as PDSEGEN (cbttape file 969) and both are ***free***. There are vendor products that can be used as well if you have them but some may require a special command or option to view the generations. Lionel B.
