Re: ISPF 3.4 question
Thanks, all, for the responses. Won't have a chance to try this for a couple days.

I've checked the help screens and have seen nothing like this so I'll ask the list if I'm missing something or if it doesn't exist.

If you don't have an old copy around you can get Alastair Gray's RCNVTCAT replacement from CBT.

Re: ISPF 3.4 question
Could you save the list and then use the modified list as input into Idcams? -Original Message- From: Pommier, Rex R.

ON the command line in SPF 3.4 to this. SAVE TEMP This will create a dataset called userid.TEMP.DATASETS with a list of the datasets. You can then edit this and make IDCAMS DELETE commands and run that in batch.
