ISTR a rexx out there somewhere that opens a file but tabbing to the dataset name and pressing enter or a pf key. It probably lives in many shops under various and sundry names. Having this rexx, all one would have to do is edit a member or file to house any number of dataset names.
Years ago I had CA's PDSMAN and EZedit that provided a fancy MSL. ISPF WP is a good suggestion if OEMs are not affordable. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Dave Salt Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 1:58 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: ISRPROF member is hosed This isn't the first time I've heard of the ISPF profile being corrupted by a home grown "favorite data set" utility. I'd strongly recommend removing the customized panel and using something that doesn't corrupt the profile, such as the ISPF Workplace (which is free) or a paid utility (such as SimpList or IPT).
