Impact to end users:

1. The EZYEDIT User Guide and EZYEDIT online tutorial provide
information about the changed views as well as descriptions of each
display field.

Important! - Users who use the USING and MODEL parameters of the
EZYEDIT HARDCOPY and OUTPUT commands should be aware that the names
of some EZYEDIT Volume Information Display fields have changed as a
result of this enhancement. If you are using these command
parameters to output Volume Information Display information that is
later processed electronically (for example, in a spreadsheet or
REXX EXEC), you should verify that your external processes still
operate as expected with the new field names and formats.

Impact to the Operations:

1. PDSMDB STC is controlled by the PDSMAN STC. The PDSMAN STC will
start and stop PDSMDB as required.
