Hello,
If I've made some changes in a dataset while it was opened in View mode using ISPF 3.4, is it possible to save it now. I don't want to loose the chanegs I made.

the subject has been discussed and flamed about gazillions of times ,
IBM added the VIEW facility to let the user make temporary changes to a <source> without the risk of clobbering the original
so why would You want to circumvent that ?

NOT a JCL question - moving topic.
Also, read your Help.

These options might help
1.CUT the contents and paste it back in edit mode.
or
2.Check on the REPLACE ISPF macro

It's "lose" not "loose" - Lose as in Lost, loose as in loose shoelace.
cc on first and last lines, create/replace in command line - all as per the documentation.

There is no ISPF REPLACE macro.
