To Edit a Data Set, Specify Number: Select the number of a selection or instruction data set that you want to edit. When you select a data set number, you can alter the data set by invoking PDF Edit. The PDF edit screen is shown in Figure 1. See z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I for more information on PDF Edit commands.
Selection Data Sets: The name of the data set containing the lists of data sets to be included in the application backup. You can specify up to five selection data set names. One data set name is required. If you want to enter a fully qualified data set name, enclose the name in single quotation marks. If you do not enclose the name in single quotation marks, the TSO/E prefix is added to the name as the first high level qualifier.
Member Name: The name of the data set member containing the lists of data sets to be included in the application backup if the selection data set is partitioned. This name must be a valid TSO/E data set member name. If the data set specified in the Selection Data Set Name field is a partitioned data set, you must specify a valid member name. There is no default.
Instruction Data Set Name: The name of the data set containing instruction, commands, and such, that are copied into the control file volume after the backup control file. This data set can only be a sequential data set. You must use a valid TSO/E data set name. The data set name, including the TSO/E prefix, can be no more than 44 characters long. This is an optional field and has no default.
