I was going through all the files associated with one of my TSO IDs and I found a number of ISPF Backup datasets that have been archived.
How or why would these get orphaned (if they have been archived, I consider them orphaned)? The format of the names is: userid.ISRnnnnn.BACKUP which matches the format for current edit backup datasets (I'm currently editing source and one of the backups won't let me look at it, because it is in use). I have recalled the orphaned ones and I can look in them. I can see some of them are for source that I have updated (and there are 2-3 backups for a member), and ultimately promoted. It would seem to me that should I have lost a TSO session through timeout or session lost or some such, that the next time I went into edit I should have been prompted for edit recovery and then these files should have gone away upon successful termination of the edit session.
