Allocate new _empty_ Member

[danielte]

Hello

i searched the forum for an answer but with no success...

Hopefully you can help me:

I want to allocate an empty Member with RexX.
The Dataset is already existing, but i need to create an empty Member in it.

exampel:

my.data.set
my.data.set(emptymember)

Its important for me, that no line is filled in it! How can i do this without inserting a line with a Space ot something like this?

Thanks for yout assistance!
Dan

Use ISPF EDIT to create the empty member with an EDIT Macro:

The exec:
/* REXX */
"ISPEXEC EDIT DATASET('pds(member)') MACRO(macroname)"

The macro:
/* REXX */
"ISREDIT MACRO"
"ISREDIT SAVE"
"ISREDIT END"

Or, use a TSO EDIT session:

/* REXX */
Queue "END SAVE"
Queue ""
"EDIT 'pds(member)' NEW DATA EMODE"
