Did I say something I didnt know? I based my remarks on:
STOW—Update partitioned data set directory (BPAM)
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.idad5...
...
The STOW macro updates a partitioned data set (PDS) directory or PDSE
directory.
You can perform the following directory actions with STOW:
...
o Disconnect PDSE members.
I thought that long ago you said that you conscientiously use STOW DISCONNECT.
But perhaps it was DESERV.
...
o Replace a member of a PDSE, if and only if the existing member was
created with a specified time stamp value.
Oh. I hadn't known about this. Does it rely on:
o The ISPF timestamp?
o The FileAccessMethodService (FAMS) timestamp?
(I suppose there's an interface to extract this. Ah! It says DESERV.)
Is there no "Replace if older"?
o Other (specify)?
Does ISPF LMMLIST create member connections?
