Hi Roscoe,
"... I’m a little surprised editing two unique files/members, coming
from different VOLSERs, is a problem. ..."
Dataset ENQs do not include the VOLSER. That has been a problem since
the beginning.
It also shows up when trying to RENAME/DELETE a Dataset (e,g,
'SYS1,LINKLIB') which resides on a volume other than the one in actually
in use.
A workaround for this is to:
RDEF FACILITY STGADMIN.DPDSRN.some.dataset UACC(NONE) OWNER(SYS1)
PE STGADMIN.DPDSRN.* CL(FACILITY) ID(myuserid) AC(A)
SETR RACLIST(FACILITY) GENERIC(FACILITY) REF
where some.dataset is the DSN (up to 23 characters) to be RENAMED (or a
mask for broader use)
Then, do a RENAME with VOLSER in ISPF Option 3.2
Regards,
David

Yes, David, that’s what I was doing. But going back and forth, getting out of
Editing one so I could edit the other, was the (relatively minor) problem.
IF … if there had been an option to edit both at once, which renaming one/both
supplies, that was what I was looking for.
I’m a little surprised editing two unique files/members, coming from different
VOLSERs, is a problem.
But the main problem was my brain was not awake yet.
Thanks again, not just for today’s answer, but for all the help I see here
daily.

Hi Roscoe,

Yep, that would work!
Simple solution, maybe more coffee, too.
I take it that what I was trying is indeed not allowed, and I wonder why not,
but case closed.
Thanks!

Subject: [EXTERNAL] ISPF Edit of same named files
I want to Edit a pair of files, from Prod and Test LPARs, both named
SYS1.TCPPARMS(PROFILE8), concurrently.
I’m trying to make them as consistent as possible, with a lot of minor changes
to each.
I have them both up in split screen (used their unique VOLSER) but I can only
have one or the other in Edit at a time, while the other is in View.
Maybe there isn’t a way to do this, but if there is it would make things easier.
Thanks in advance!
