PDS Processing Options panel
The Search/Update PDS Processing Options screen, shown in PDS Processing Option Screen, is displayed when one or more of the selected data sets specified on the Search/Update Utility screen refers to a partitioned dataset (PDS). It is used to specify member processing values that control whether to include extra record information, process records as logical JCL, maintain PDS statistics, and list the entire member or only the selected records. In addition, you can specify member selection values to choose members based on a name mask, name range, the userid for last modification, and creation and modification date ranges.
Some PDS processing options are preset with default values at installation time. Others have no effect unless a value is entered in the field. The options that are available vary with the Search/Update option specified and the type of data set being processed.
To include all members in the list, leave all member selection options blank on the PDS Processing Options screen.
When option M is specified, File-AID displays the PDS Find/Change screen (PDS Find/Change Member List Screen) displaying all members.
When option B or U is specified, the PDS Processing Options screen allows you to display the Member S/X (Select or Exclude) screen (Member S/X List Screen) before specifying or applying selection criteria by entering a Y (Yes) in the Display Member List field.
When processing multiple PDSs for options B or U, the PDS Processing Options screen displays for each selected PDS before continuing with the Browse or Update function.

Maximum number of generations to include in search
Specify a number between 1 and the MAXGENS number for this PDSE. Or specify 0 to search all generations. Leave blank to only search the current member (0 generation). For example, specify 2 to search the current member (0), (-1) and (-2) generation members.
By specifying a number between 1 and the MAXGENS number (see Maximum Generations) for the PDSE in this field you can limit the number of generation members to be searched. When 0 (zero) is specified all generations are searched.
The search results will identify each member by its name and relative generation number, for example ***MEMBER MEMBER1(-2) *** as shown in the following figure.
