Hi,

Is there a way to recover deleted members of a PDS?

Thanks

Hi,
You could do a HRECOVER with a new name for the restored PDS,

Go to ISPF Command Shell or option 6 on ISPF.
enter this command

There is a utility called PDS on the CBT tape Use [URL] BBCode for External Links to recover PDS members. It will create members from old member space as long as a compress of the PDS was not done.

While I have never used the HRECOVER command, I have always used the PDS tool to do EVERYTHING on the mainframe... better than sliced bread with peanut butter and marshmallow !!!
I am going to go try the HRECOVER command now... ciao !!
