What do you mean you don't have it "with you"? Does a back-up exist? If so, restore appropriate members. If not, proceed as per attempting to recover deleted PDS members (search forum, find a number of untested suggestions, stick head in bucket, and scream, really, really loudly).

Hello,
Will this work?
1) rename PDS B. to something else like PDS B.backup
2) issue TSO HRECOVER 'PDS B'
3) Possibly Your latest system backed up PDS would be restored.

Code:
ARC0778I DATA SET PDS.B WAS RECOVERED FROM A BACKUP MADE AT 15:05:39 
ARC0778I (CONT.) ON 2011/06/15                                                 
ARC1000I PDS.B RECOVER PROCESSING ENDED                               
***       


4) Copy required members.

Edited: Did not see previous posts by Bill & Peter.

For info on recovering older backups issue,
TSO HELP HRECOVER

Uncheck the option "Replace like-named members" and you wont have to worry about members being replaced.
Hope it helps.

You are asuming a lot here, especially that DFSMShsm is installed and active.

If it is, why perform the rename when HSM can recover to a new name.

It really is up to the OP to find out from his storage people which ILM product is installed and if backups exist. Only s/he can do this.

Oh ok,Thanks for the information. I will have to correct my picture of assuming blatantly that DFSMSHSM was something like ISPF thats comes with Z/OS :S

Its always good to have someone/(many, in case of ibmmainframes.com) around to correct silly mistakes & provide guidance.

Hi Bill,

Another of our "language opportunities". If i understand, this typically means the "thing" does not exist.

@krishna prasad
If this is not yet resolved, allow no work to happen in PDS B. Then speak with your storage support people. It may be possible to salvage the members you want from the pds, but you would need to work with the storage management people to do this. There have been multiple topics about doing this in the forum.

Hi Dick,

Could be.

"Quick, where's your coding-pad, I've just had a great idea for PRQ10101!". "Sorry, I don't have it with me". "!!??!#*@!?"

Maybe that sort of conversation just doesn't happen today, so we don't need to find a new phrase for the original usage.

I first read "organist", but for an onanist you need an organ. icon_rolleyes.gif

I was going to follow on with a scholarly dissertation on engaging, disengaging, release, and related terms in the domain of firearms

and I suddenly realized that I was heading towards murky territory icon_biggrin.gif
