I've made a few updates:

 

1.       FASTPATH was updated to clear up a point and shoot bug that has
been there for several years but only showed up today

2.       zFSTOOLS was updated with some cosmetic improvements thanks to
Peter Giles

 

The NEWEST addition to my site is PDSEGEN which is an ISPF dialog designed
to provide a robust and user friendly tool for working with PDSE Version 2
Member Generations. This tool provides the following capabilities:

 

* Commands:  Compare member old-gen new-gen                  *


 *            Copy to copy current PDSE to another/new PDSE   *


 *            Edit member                                     *


 *            Locate member or member*                        *


 *            Refresh - rebuild the member list               *


 *            Sort Create, Change, or User A/D                *


 *              - only one at a time                          *


 *              - A for ascending and D for descending        *


 *                                                            *


 * Selection                                                  *


 *   Commands: B - browse                                     *


 *             C - compare  (for non-0 generations to gen 0)  *


 *             D - delete   (for gen 0 only)                  *


 *             E - edit     (for gen 0 only)                  *


 *                 converted to V for non-0 gen)              *


 *             M - mail the member (if enabled)               *


 *             P - promote  (for non-0 generations)           *


 *             R - recover  (for non-0 generations)           *


 *             S - select   (based on the prompt panel        *


 *             O - tutorial panel                             *


 *             V - view                                       *


 *             X - execute the member (clist or rexx)         *


 *             / - tutorial panel                             *          

 

Be aware when using it that it uses a rather (extremely) slow technique for
determining the member generations since there is no IBM provided capability
in either TSO, REXX, or ISPF. That means that the initial entry to a PDSE
can take awhile but once you are in there it hums and really demonstrates
the capabilities that are available with generations.

 

As usual all of these tools are provided without warranty, guarantee, or
promise that they will work for you and yours.  If you choose to install
them be sure to test, test, and test again.

 

Comements, suggestions, corrections, bug reports, etc. are welcome and
appreciated but come with no promise that I'll be able to address them.
