 No; the queestion is whether the original code was a design flaw, not
 whether it is feasible to correct it today, and ISPF, not Allocation.


ÐThat's where I went sidewise. Thanks for the enlightenment. I totally
agree with you that SPFEDIT should have included the volser in the case of
a PDS. I would _guess_ it is a design flaw due to the ISPF person thinking
(as I was) about how SYSDSN was done and deciding to be similar. It might
even had been a good decision for non-PDS data sets as well.
rname==volser||dsn||member (where member=8C' ' if non-PDS?)

I totally agree.

There is however the issue of what type of ENQ to make for SYSDSN of a PDS/PDSE. You need to issue a SHR while editing or the SPFEDIT is useless. Note that for Non-PDS files you should be going SYSDSN/EXC and no SPFEDIT is needed.

As to why SPFEDIT is VOLSER-LESS I agree with you about the ISPF person in error using SYSDSN's RNAME as a model. At this point in time there is little that can be done to fix the situation.
