OK, thanks, 'member' is the ticket! Downside is that Dsname Level is mandatory implying some knowledge of the high level qualifier. I happened to know that IGYCOP* is what I wanted so found my members. In the real world am not sure this is a downside?
Specifically, was looking for member IGYCOPT since I have to change the LIB parm to YES from NO so COBOL compiles work with copybooks - so if there's more than one, question then becomes 'which one, both, all?'. Have asked VIC Support - they're really good!.
