Re: ISPF Clipboard Utility and ISPF ZSTART
eclip looks interesting. why 10 you asked - because that is the limit that IBM allows using their native clipboard facility (actually 11 but clipboard 1 is the Default). With eclip how do you access the invidiual clipboards or are you using a custom, non-ibm, cut/paste that stores clipboards externa...

ISPF Clipboard Utility and ISPF ZSTART
Several of my in-house users were asking a few weeks ago how to use the ISPF Cut and Paste. As part of that discussion I learned they didn't know about using user defined clipboards - they only used the default clipboard. To simplify the use of clipboards I developed an ISPF dialog I called SETCLIP ...

Re: What is the difference between SYSPRINT and SYSOUT DD names?
Be aware that z/OS is not the same a Unix where stdout and stderr have special and agreed upon meanings. With z/OS a DD can be whatever the programmer wants it to be. Thus a SYSPRINT and a SYSOUT DD could be used for completely different purposes in different programs. From a different perspective, ...

Re: PDSEGEN - Tool to work with PDSE Member Generations
DB2 Guy - I'm sorry you feel that way. I was hoping that the information would be helpful for others who are looking to take advantage of pdse member generations. I have been answering some questions in the community but realize i'm new to this forum so haven't had time to answer a lot.

Determining if you have PDSE Member Generations Enabled
If you don't have access to read SYS1.PARMLIB but would still like to see if you have PDSE Member Generations available at your site then use this small rexx exec: /* REXX */ CVT = C2D(Storage(10,4)) CVTDFA = C2D(Storage(D2X(CVT + 1216),4)) /* cvt + 4c0 */ DFAMGEN = C2D(Storage(D2X(cvtdfa + 76),4)) ...

Re: What is the difference between SYSPRINT and SYSOUT DD names?
The best way to answer that is that it depends on the particular program. Read the doc to see what each DD is and how it is used.

Re: Using ISPF how to change one word in members of a PDS?
There are numerous tools that will do this. Some have been mentioned but one of the best, and free, is the PDS command which can be found on FILE 182 on the CBTTape.org site. Another approach is to write a rexx exec that lists all the members of the pds and then invokes an ispf edit macro on each me...
