‎I wrap my lm+ with REXX reading the mod and VER doing the proper math and

Unless something has changed recently, after all these decades of built-in 
level management, V01.M99 does not automatically roll over to V02. 01.99 gets 
stuck forever unless manually updated. 

Furthermore, users must take care to let ISPF handle incrementing properly. Too 
often I see a user editing a member by first doing a c999 to create/replace a 
backup member. Problem: version identifiers in columns 79-80 are lost in the 
backup. I exhort my folks to take the extra step of copying the member 
*externally* from current to backup member before editing the current member. 
This preserves version identifiers in the backup, which now and again are 
helpful in reconstructing a member's history. It takes only a few seconds to do 
it properly, but the habit must be instilled.

A plug for the PDS(E) command: COPY (to backup) and then EDIT can be done 
successively on the same line of a member list with a few keystrokes. Fast and 
efficient.
