Subject: ISPF Backup Files


I was going through all the files associated with one of my TSO IDs and
I found a number of ISPF Backup datasets that have been archived.

How or why would these get orphaned (if they have been archived, I
consider them orphaned)? The format of the names is:
userid.ISRnnnnn.BACKUP which matches the format for current edit backup
datasets (I'm currently editing source and one of the backups won't let
me look at it, because it is in use).

I have recalled the orphaned ones and I can look in them. I can see some
of them are for source that I have updated (and there are 2-3 backups
for a member), and ultimately promoted.

Steve,

APAR OA23616 will correct the issue with orphan edit recovery files.

Regards,
Tom Conley
