I am reading the Using Data Sets manual for z/OS 2.2 (DFSMS stuff).

Has anyone attempted to use the version feature of PDSE?

I'd love to hear about your experiences before I even think about suggesting this for a current client of mine.

What they want is a replacement of a librarian product (not necessarily Librarian) using PDSEs.

From what I read right now, this concept is a nightmare (within PDSEs).

You will need to specify which generation you are after, but that means you have to know which generation the source you need was saved (archived) in.

Per the book, as I have read so far, and "understand" at this point, you would have to do this:

A.B.C.GnnnnVnn(member) in order to access the "archived" member.

So I am very interested in what anyone has done and/or experienced in this area.

Regards,
Steve Thompson
