Hi,

When I try to locate the file name using ISPF 3.4, it does not show me up the dataset name. It was not happening before:

Code: Select all

                                                                    	More:     +

                              	   	/  	Prefix Dsname Level                       	  
  	  	                                                                            
 	When the data set list is displayed, enter either: 	                            
   	"/" 	on the data set list command field for the command prompt pop-up, 	       
 	  	-ETRMPRI 	*DSLIST  	                                                           


upon research I came to know that by removing / from in front of the "Display Total Tracks" and "Prefix Dsname Level" it works. Why it is so? And how can remove / from them permanently, they come back every time I try again.

The Display Total Tracks option has nothing to do with your problem. The Prefix DSNAME Level option, however, indicates whether or not to prefix anything you put in the DSNAME field on this screen with your TSO user id. There is a way to change those options permanently but I don't recall if it is in option 0 of ISPF or not -- I'll research it when I have access to my mainframe.
