+1 For FM's PDSE Workbench. Too bad FM in general has the horrible policy of not only using 47 different keylists, but insisting on [re-]activating them no matter how many times the user turns them off. That makes using FM very frustrating if you dare to want to control your own PF key settings.
And yeah, it seems a bit presumptive of ISPF to suddenly switch to all-generation delete. This is the first I've heard about it, so maybe there's options to control this, but no one's mentioned it. ISPF development usually is terrified of changing anything, like to allow extended stats without jumping through ridiculous hoops. Or show them on member list displays. sas On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 9:15 PM Peter Van Dyke <[email protected]> wrote: > FYI, IBM File Manager provides the PDSE Workbench utility which supports > working directly with any member generation in a PDSE V2.
