I long found it irritating, inconsistent, and silly that whereas entering Browse, Edit, or View as a line command before a PO data set in a list causes display of a member list with the specified command as the default, doing likewise on a UNIX directory issues an error message rather than displaying a member list. I surmise, since you mentioned the exception, that: o you considered it o you found it impractical. >*********************************************************************** >* ... * >* RFE 128561 - ISPF OPT 3.4 block delete commands should * >* delete VSAM cluster, and bypass DATA and * >* INDEX components without stopping * >* * I'm delighted with this one; it eliminates a PITA. I've long considered it a bug that when I specify: HLQ.**.CSI and request no additional qualifiers, it nonetheless displays the DATA and INDEX components. Experts tell me this must be WAD. I don't understand.
