I have command " E/(member2) " . I have to use this command to edit member directly from PDS.

I tried this command but it shows command failed error...Please let me know where i'm wrong...

Gnans,

Gnanas N · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 2:51 pm

You are right, Murali.

What I have told is working fine.

But PDS should be opened... (say, thru' 3.4).

Correct me if I am wrong.

Gnans,

the way the O/P wrote the command makes people assume that He is doing it
from the line_command field of a 3.4 dataset list
( not from the command line of the panel )

otherwise it would be better to give the right hints in order to avoid useless traffic

Murali,

I got this from 100 COOL MAINFRAME TIPS pdf.

Here is a tip by which you can avoid ISPF 3.4 Option!!!

To Open a PS or PDS member, we usually use ISPF 3.4 to open in EDIT or BROWSE MODE.

Here is one way where one can open PS or PDS member in EDIT/VIEW/BROWSE mode from any command line.

Thus, we can avoid using 3.4 option.

Issue : EPDF ‘MYID.MYPS’ . The Dataset will be opened in EDIT MODE.

If you want to open in VIEW mode:
Issue : EPDF ‘MYID.MYPS’ VIEW

Similarly, for opening in BROWSE mode, type BROWSE at the end.

Hope this helps.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Sorry for late reply....

But i want to open this PDS member through command line:
See example as below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DSLIST - Data Sets Matching PU9361A.AMOL.TESTONE Command failed
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR

Command - Enter "/" to select action Message Volume
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E/(TEST1)PU9361A.AMOL.TESTONE SVZA6D

Please let me know if it may be wrong command...
Please guide me...

Issue the command like below,

enrico-sorichetti · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:26 pm

Still I have not understood Your request
what do You need to know ???

let' s sum up the different options

from any panel "Command field at the top of the panel"..
epdf "dataset name" view/browse will take You to the dataset in view / browse
no option will take You to edit

from a member list in edit / view / browse
You can choose a member from the command field of the line using "S"
or by the command field on the panel entering "s member"

from a member list in "member list" ( "M" option in 3.4 ) You can
e/v/b in the command field in front of the member ...
or in command field at the top/bot of the panel enter "s member e/v/b"

or again as I SAID i one of my precedinfg posts
in the 3.4 dataset list enter in the command field in front of the dataset name...
e /(member)
v /(member)
b /(member)

REMEMBER the space between the command an the "slash"

Hi Friends,

I tried both the commands.

E TEST1 PU9361A.AMOL.TESTONE

and EPDF.

But i couldnt able to execute.

For the first case the screen prompts me with renter operand message (note I changed the dataset with my own PS name)

For the second case it is saying EPDF not found.

Is EPDF is shop specific ?

If not how to invoke the command ?

ksk · Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 10:42 am

Hi Diwakar,

I don't think EPDF is shop specific command but I am not sure about it.

I have extracted this command from "100 Cool Mainframe Tips".

Regards,
KSK

diwa_thilak · Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:18 am

Thanks KSK,

I already have this document, but the problem is i could 'nt able to execute the command.

It is saying EPDF not found !

I need to check anyother way of executing these two commands.

diwa_thilak · Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 2:05 pm

Sorry expat.

Pls let me know how to find that one ?

I am not aware of that process.

expat · Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 2:58 pm

TSO ISRDDN will list all of your currently concatenated libraries for your session.

To concatenate a REXX library, take a look at the ALTLIB command. For other libraries the LIBDEF command should suffice.

diwa_thilak · Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 3:39 pm

Thanks Expat.

But i couldnt find any EPDF concatenated to the list.

Please let me know in which PDS/PS it will located(source name). I gave a command like Mem EPDF but i could'nt get any hits.
