True, CA Disk's PDS2SEQ proc won't export past member generations to the sequential file. Sorry for not being clear about that. Our Backup/Restore/Move support for PDSE V2 with MAXGENS is currently in development.
The PDS2SEQ proc was originally developed to help with customizing your CA Disk proclib by writing it to a flat file, so you could do "change all" commands to customize the symbolics in the procs with your local values and then reload the proclib with IEBPTPCH. My earlier reply was for a non-standard use and should be filed under "hints and tricks". We did not plan on updating PDS2SEQ to preserve PDSEV2 generations because its primary purpose was to edit members which are newly delivered by CA that contain the CA defined defaults. Also, yes TSO XMIT will preserve the ISPF stats of the unloaded members, and I have not experimented to see if it will preserve past generations of PDSE V2 members.

You may want to look at the output. 4) SAS UNLOAD a PDS. Creates IEBUPDTE control cards around the members.

Sorry about your PDS. I don't think TRANSMIT will select multiple members. But you can IEBCOPY SELECTed members into a temporary PDS, and TRANSMIT that with INDD OUTDSN. (And it'll fix your broken PDS.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
