Does ISRDDN let you edit from a concatenation of more than 3 levels? Is the member copied when you begin EDIT, even if you CANCEL, or only if you SAVE. I believe classic ISPF EDIT copies only if you SAVE. I'd certainly prefer not to copy an unmodified member. -- gil Hey Gil, Not sure what you mean by 3-level concatenation. If you mean more than 3 libraries in the concatenation, then yes it does. If you mean more than 3 qualifiers in the DSN, then the answer is still yes. As far as when it is actually copied, good question. Member $$$REX is in the second library in the concatenation, which is a 4 qualifier DSN. The first library in the concatenation is SYSPROG.REXXLIB. I also tried it with a member in the 8th library in the concatenation and it worked the same way. It does place an ENQ on the member in the first library and not on the one in the original library.
