Gadi, ISMF has many of the data set level functions you mentioned already, and you can execute DFSMShsm commands from the list similar to ISPF 3.4s. If only IBM would fix the display length on screens > 80 chars wide. Sigh. Ron Hawkins Director, Ipsicsopt Pty Ltd (ACN: 627 705 971) | m: +61 4000

All, The current Hitachi OS is called VOS3, but I'm not sure about the suffix (VOS3/???). I'm also not sure if Hitachi VMS was ported the Hitachi specific z14. While based on MVS, I think it is fair to say that z/OS and VOS3 have diverged enough from the parent OS to be listed as a separate OS
