Can we find specific member without knowing the name of PDS
or can we search a member to which PDS it belongs to? if so how?

Answer Posted / pavan

We can find the dataset which is having the perticular member.
But you have list out all the datasets using 3.4.

EX: Suppose if your ID is starting with UCS5..then give
UCS5.** in 3.4......You will get the list of the datasets.
Then use command like below. Here member is "MAIN"

Command ==> M MAIN

"M" is the command to find the member in the datasets.
