I ran across an interesting bug today - found that in PDSEGEN 5.3.0 that edit 
cancel was failing. I even opened a PMR on it as I couldn't figure it out - 
complete with ispvcall traces.

Then I did some digging and found the edit cancel panel - ISRECFM - and noticed 
that it was testing for &Z and that test was failing. So I made a copy of the 
panel and put &Z within the panel and noticed that it had a value of z/OS. This 
got me to looking and with PDSEGEN 5.3.0 I had to add code to test for ISPF for 
z/OS 2.1 and I used a parse of the variable ZISPFOS and used "parse value 
ispfzos with x y z v'.'r'.'m" which resulted in variable z having the value of 
z/OS which broke the ISPF Panel test "IF (&ZCMD NE &Z) ...".

Thus PDSEGEN 5.3.1 fixes this and I know now never to have a variable within 
any ISPF application of z.

You've been warned.

You can get PDSEGEN 5.3.1 starting after 5pm on 4/12/18 at www.lbdsoftware.com
