Selecting a block of members in PDS directory for editing

Question

I want to select a group of members in a PDS for editing but unlike in SDSF, putting // in the beginning and end of block doesn't work. Does anybody know how can I do that? For viewing a range of PDS members! is that even possible??

I appreciate your opinion on this.

This is what I mean of selecting a block of members

Answer 1

Edit the dataset via option 3.4, the DSLIST command or the ISPF Workplace (usually option 11 and the best option).

Make sure that the 'Enhanced member list for Edit, View, and Browse' option is selected. This can be found in the 'options -> DSLIST' menu.

Enter 'e' against multiple members or use e * to select all members or e abc* to select all members beginning with abc and press 'enter'.

When you press PF3 to finish editing one member, you will be taken straight into edit on the next member.
