Try =3.1 instead of 3.4

pds member statistics are not automatic unless the service which creates the new member, updates the member statistics.

so as not to p*** everybody off,
copy the pds to your own (allocated for this purpose) pds, (ISPF menu option 3.3)
- within 3.3 COPY/MOVE you are given the opportunity to provide DCB parms for unallocated files.
use ISPF menu option 3.5 to 'RESET' all the member statistics.

problem is, to access pds member statistics, they have to be there, and to create the stats means slapping your userid on every member of the pds. fine for private pds's.

I think the ISPF editor PROFILE has something about pds member statistics. That way you can insure that a shared-development-pds always has stats and USERID's.
