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.
