If these are PDSE's with generations then the question is what release of z/OS are you running? If 2.4 then the ISPF delete member selections will delete all generations along with the base member. If 2.3 or earlier then only the base (generation 0) member is deleted and the generations will remain - just not accessible.
If you are z/OS 2.3, or earlier, then you can use PDSEGEN (CBTTape file 969) to see those 'ghost' generations and easily recover them. If you are z/OS 2.4 or 2.5 then hope you have HSM backups or some other backup system. Lionel B.

I just pressed "D" next to a PDSe member I was editing, instead of "S". I have generations set up for this PDSe, but I cannot see how to get to the member I just accidentally deleted. Is there a way to recover the member? Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw <https://rsclweb.com/> https://rsclweb.com 'Dance like no one is watching.
