While I'm not convinced there is real need for member generations/versions, I have to admit there is lack of support for this feature. Even with this enhancement.

It's like long names in PDSE. I heard about it ~20 years ago. And I have never seen it. And never seen any IBM tool (ISPF/PDF?) supporting such names.

Which says:

GENS={ALL | NONE}
Indicates if the member generations of a Version 2 PDSE will
be copied or not. This keyword is valid only when copying from
a PDSE V2 with member generations to another

Does "only" mean not valid when unloading to a sequential PDSU?

Now the question is - will TSO TRANSMIT and RECEIVE be updated to support
this new capability?

I'm pretty sure that TRANSMIT does IEBCOPY unload under-the-covers.  So:
o Does this depend on whether GENS is honored for unload to PDSU?
o Will this require new syntax for TRANSMIT?

THANK YOU IBM - THANK YOU
