I would recommend that the OP always use the '/' command instead of 'S'. Given that S and D are co-located on the keyboard and / is far away. On Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 10:49 PM Lionel B. Dyck wrote: > The issue of how to deal with PDSE member generations is one that I > struggled with when develop

Re: Minor disaster

The issue of how to deal with PDSE member generations is one that I struggled with when developing PDSEGEN. The solution that I came up with was to allow individual generations to be deleted, which required writing a routine to do so as the native TSO DELETE and ISPF Delete options would only delet

Re: Minor disaster

+1 For FM's PDSE Workbench. Too bad FM in general has the horrible policy of not only using 47 different keylists, but insisting on [re-]activating them no matter how many times the user turns them off. That makes using FM very frustrating if you dare to want to control your own PF key settings.

Re: Minor disaster

FYI, IBM File Manager provides the PDSE Workbench utility which supports working directly with any member generation in a PDSE V2. For example, you can browse/view previous member generations, compare member generations and recover a member from an earlier generation. This can all be done from a m

Do you have an HSM backup of the PDSE? Or a volume backup? Otherwise I don’t know. BTW, I always have prompting turned on so that if I accidentally hit D, I get a prompt verifying I really want to delete it. On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 7:02 AM Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw < 032fff1be9b4-dmarc-requ...
