You can use the CREATE command.

I'm thinking a combination of CUT, EDIT, and PASTE

or

a combination of CREATE and COPY

On the command line type either

CREATE 'your pds name (member)

or if the member already exists

REPLACE 'your pds name (member)

And then

C99999 //X48201J JOB 'JOB INFORMATION',
000002 // CLASS=1,
000003 // MSGCLASS=U,
000004 // NOTIFY=&SYSUID
000005 //*
000006 //DUMMYSTP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14

and then press enter

Change your pds name

If you want the member to be create in the same PDS, you can provide the member name only.

Yeah,

ofer71 has the result from within the PDS,
my suggestion was from within SJ in SDSF.

You could always CREATE 'short ds name'
and then copy that file into your PDS.

Hi Vijay,

If you're creating the newly named member to the same PDS as the orig, just enter "create newmem" on the cmd line. No need for the PDS name.
