Bummer. 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.
Gil,
When I passed ANYTHING other than a member name to BROWSE, EDIT, VIEW,
it came back with "Invalid member name". I suppose I could create my
own hacked up versions of BROWSE, EDIT, VIEW, that would allow other
than a member name, but I'm limiting myself to things that I can do via
panels, execs, etc., without subverting ISPF itself. Unfotunately,
we'll probably be waiting a long time (and probably forever) for IBM to
enhance ISPF itself. That's why I'm trying to deliver as much
functionality as possible with clean usermods.
Regards,
Tom Conley
