Few ISPF Tips

HI ALL,

I want to take a copy of the same memeber with different name in same PDS. I am able to do this by giving C in front of the needed member and then typing the Project Group Type and new member name.

Is there any simpler way of doing it by giving some * in Project, Group and Type, so that i need not type in the current dataset name again.

This may sound weird, but I feel there mit be an option to do this.

Hi Isha,

Try to use
SEND 'your message' USER(userid)

It will be better if u start a new topic instead of a posting it in an old post.

To add to spanda, you may also put DSNVIEW on the command like and give the DSN name to open it in view mode directly.

Cheers!
