Sounds strange to me. But it's not my component. >> UNIX has long had the admirable practice of generating the online and hardcopy documentation from the same source. z/OS Unix has followed this practice: the man(1) pages and the Commands manual are generated (the former dynamically) from Bookmaster source. It works well enough save for a few dangling references in the man pages.
SDSF could have done similarly. (z/OS Unix lacks the "catman -w" and "makewhatis" commands present in many other flavors of UNIX to extract the equivalent of the TSO HELP COMMANDS member.)
