Have you tried View? It behaves the same as Edit, but does not save. I have found that it handles things a bit better than browse does at times.

This has happened to me twice this afternoon, and several other times in the last 
few months - I am trying to browse (from ISPF 3.4) a quite large sequential file 
(> 14500 cylinders of compressed data) for a record with a specific 31-byte key 
at the beginning of the record, and browse abends with S878 and throws me off TSO 
entirely, requiring me to login again each time.

My TSO logon region size is set to 48000, so what in the world is making browse 
consume so much memory that it runs out and crashes my TSO session entirely?

I know, OCO prevents anyone knowing for sure, but if you have any clue I'd 
appreciate knowing the answer.

I've been forced to search that file using SORT in a batch job to keep the 
frustration level lower.
