If the PDS was a PDS then if you, or the system, hasn't performed a compress 
you should be good. If it was a PDSE then you're toast (sorry).

If a PDS then get the PDS command from CBTTape file 182.

This command in PDS will restore all members - unfortunately it can't recover 
the original member names but at least you'll have something.

>From ISPF:

PDS dataset-name
Restore $$ repeat display noprompt

Or enter O.RES to be prompted for the command syntax

Hope this helps

Subject: Restore members in a PDS - how/which tool?

I have screwed up badly as I succeded to delete all members in my rexx ds. 

I know that there are tools/methods to restore them but those were among the 
members I deleted...  
(That is by working with the pds as it is itself.) 

Any that info about how?
