Steps:

  1. Type a C in the Edit Mode field.
  2. Type FASAMP.PDSEV2 in the Dataset name or zFS path field.
  3. Type MEMBER1 in the Member name field.

  4. Type OLD in the Disposition field.

    The value of OLD prevents other users from accessing the data set while you are editing it.

  5. Type an N in the Create audit trail field.

    Note that the audit trail report only identifies the member name without generation information.

  6. Blank out the I/O exit name field, if the I/O exit option has been installed at your site, otherwise skip this step.

    This field must be blank in order to access Version 2 PDSE generation members.

  7. Type an N in the Record layout usage field.

    As Edit Mode C was specified a record layout is not needed.

  8. Type an N in the Selection criteria usage field as all records should be loaded and you also want access to the Version 2 PDSE generation members.
  9. Press Enter. If you specified your new PDSE, FASAMP.PDSEV2, File-AID displays the Edit screen as shown in Character Edit - Original Member.
