Hi ,

It is the tool by which we can get back the versions which were created while using the command 'save ' in pds dataset .Every time when use the save command new version will be created . By compressing the dataset we can remove all the space occupied by the same .

Normally it is not possible through ispf .

Thank you ,

Hi All,
STARTOOL is more or less same as the File-Aid.
It has the same features as File Aid has.

Cheers
