Version 2 >co-incidence ?. My complaint about PDSE is that in their infinite lack of wisdom (probably in response to some bean counter) PDSE can't be a complete replacement for PDS. The idea that a supposedly basic access method isn't available at NIP and requires a started address space has aways seem wacky to me. The failure also precludes the idea that FBA access methods can be used for all work thus allowing z/OS to finally use FBA disks also shows lack of strategic thinking. Overall what is the ration of PDS APARs to PDSE APARs?
