One small query:
After opening a PDS thru 3.4 option and copying a member to the same pds by giving different name. How to refresh the PDS and open the new member just copied, without going back and entering again.

U can use the REFRESH command from inside the PDS and make the new member available.

Is it me, or does it seem like you're wasting a lot of keystrokes?

Usually, if you want to create and edit a new member of a PDS, you edit the PDS, enter "S NEWNAME" to select the empty member "NEWNAME".

Then, on the command line, you type "COPY OLDNAME" to copy an existing member OLDNAME from the same PDS into the new member; or, you type "COPY 'OTHER.DATASET.TO.COPY.FROM'"; or, you type "COPY", press ENTER, and select the dataset/member to copy from.
