Using ISPF/PDF edit

Before you can edit a data set, you must first create it. When it is created, it is an empty data set; it contains no information. To display information in a data set, to put information into a data set, or to change information in a data set, use the EDIT option (option 2) of ISPF/PDF.

To use ISPF/PDF edit, select the EDIT option (option 2) from the ISPF/PDF Primary Option Menu.
