I've deleted a member from the pds now i want to recover it, i used HLIST coomand but i don't have authority access to use it, and also i dont remeber the member name.
Now is there anything like user actions logs to see my action that i have performed, so i can see the member name. |

| Almost certainly not. Even SMF data doesn't go down to member level of detail |

| There is a new subtype 21 for the type 42 that tracks member delete. |

| If it is a PDS and not a PDSE, you can get the member back if you have not compressed the data set. The old PDS utility from the CBT tape, STARTOOLS and maybe others (Fileaid?) can do it. |

Hello Usha,
System activity is recorded in SMF records. Different record types hold different information. The type 42 record has a new 21 subtype that records activity (i.e. delete) of a member.
This might help you identify the name of the deleted member. It would not however recover the member.
Is there a chance that there is a recent backup of the pds? If there is a copy of the pds, you should be able to restore it to some new name and rescue the deleted member. |

Those are ISPF datasets created when you EDIT with "RECOVERY ON". The changes you make are tracked so that you can "UNDO" them. I dont think you can use these to recreate the member but you might browse them to see the old data for cut and paste. |
