Invoking PDSE Workbench

You can invoke the PDSE Workbench using any of the following methods.

• Invoking an ISPF command defined in the ISPF Command Table. See “Setting up your ISPF commands to invoke PDSE Workbench” in the File Manager Customization Guide.
• Invoking a REXX exec. See “Setting up a REXX exec to invoke PDSE Workbench” in the File Manager Customization Guide.
• Option 3.15 from the File Manager main menu.
• When editing or viewing a member in a version 2 PDSE, press the enhanced search function key (FMNELIBD KEY or FMNSRCHK) with any abbreviation of History in the command line to invoke the workbench for the current data set.
• When editing or viewing a member from an enhanced search report, enter H, HIST, or HISTORY on the command line to invoke the workbench for the current data set.
• When editing a member such as a JCL or reference list member and the cursor is on the name of a version 2 PDSE, pressing the enhanced search function key displays a menu. Select option 12 to invoke the workbench for that data set.
  Note: You can use a function key to bypass the menu. Specify either FMNELIBD KEY 12 or FMNSRCHK 12 depending on which method you use to invoke the enhanced search feature.
• When a File Manager member list is displayed the workbench is invoked if any abbreviation of HISTORY is entered as a primary command.
