Hello,

Try ISPEXEC BROWSE - EDIT means edit.

do u mean ADDRESS ISPEXEC "BROWSE - EDIT DATASET('ID.PDS')"

but it is giving the rerror
Invalid keyword
'-' is not a valid keyword for this service.

My reqirement is to open a PDS in all opening modes (EDIT/BROWSE/View)

No
ADDRESS
"ISPFEXEC BROWSE DATASET(pds(member))"
or
"ISPFEXEC VIEW DATASET(pds(member))"

ADDRESS
"ISPFEXEC BROWSE DATASET(pds)"
or
Address
"ISPFEXEC VIEW DATASET(pds)"
above method only open a dataset in Edit or Browse mode...Let us say If we open a dtaset in browse mode...it can not be viewed...
My reqirement is I want to open Just like 3.4 option like it can viewed or Browse or edited depending on the B/E/V what we specify infront of the PDS member
EX:
VIEW YOURID.PDS
Command ===>
Name
V/B/E________ PDSMEM

Oh Sorry Brother....
Let us say I opened the dataset using Following Rexx code
ADDRESS
"ISPFEXEC BROWSE DATASET(pds)"

Output will be
BROWSE MYID.PDS Row 00001 of 00002
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
Name Prompt Size Created Changed ID
. MEM1
. Mem2

If you Put V infront of Member then we will get

BROWSE MYID.PDS Invalid select codeCommand ===> Scroll ===> CSR
Name Prompt Size Created Changed ID
V MEM1
. Mem2

My reqirement is If we put V it should open in View mode...if we put B it should open in browse mode...if E -->edit mode

But Normal REXX code will open in either in view or in browse or in EDIT
I want All should work
Thanks

You can open a dataset only in one mode at a time.

You can code something like this:

OK I see what you want ( as Ofer71 said ).

Why do you have to change your mind between the two commands?
You start browsing , stay browsing....

Is there a specific need to change?

Cheers

Regarding switching - remember that BROWSE/VIEW/EDIT are also an ISPF Edit-Macro commands (in addition to the above ISPF Services), so you can issue them from within an edit-macro (ISREDIT),thus switching between modes.

I just checked... from option 3.4
after selecting in ANY(browse,view,edit) mode a dataset
You can use any from any member command ( even delete )only if You have activated

I think the poster wants the member list service.
