Calling the ISPF option 3.4 program with SELECT PGM(ISRDSLST. ..

[George, Bill]

Thanks for your information Jeff. Unfortunately, I currently utilize the
method below to display a list for a volume.

However, there are instances when I would like to go directly passed GO
and collect my $200 without having to key ENTER again from the 3.4
prompt screen or return to it. I am able to go directly into the listing
if I pass a dataset name in the SELECT command via SELECT PGM(ISRDSLST)
PARM(DSL "libname") and am looking for a means by passing only a volume
Id.

thanks again

Bill
