Sounds like something NETVIEW might do. I also forgot to mention
it does STOW, and so with that interface you can ignore the
member name rules of JCL.

We have a PDSE with member names starting with a

I am unable to create such members in ISPF edit or to
copy them with IEBCOPY.

Radoslaw,
From memory, this is simply the ALPHANUMNAT set. Alphabetic chars (upper
case), Numerics and the national chars (#$@). First char may not be numeric.

Subject: allowed characters in member name
(This is somehow Friday question, but at least on topic. :-) )
What characters are allowed in JCL when specifying member name?
I mean constructs like the following:
//ANY DD DSN=HLQ.DATASET(MEMBER)
Note, it is not about PDS/PDSE itself and I have seen SMPSCDS member names (as
well as PDSMAN generated), but I mean JCL-acceptable names, which are also
supported by ISPF (I think so).
