  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of ISPF edit in a multi-system     *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND 213-70 attempting to access a     *
  *                      PDSE if a member of the PDSE is being   *
  *                      edited on another system.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In a multiple system environment, editing a member of a PDSE
  on one system and then attempting to access the PDSE from
  another system will result in an ABEND 213-70.
  

Problem conclusion

• When sharing data in a multiple system environment, opening
  a PDSE for output on one system will prevent the PDSE from
  being opened on any other system.
   ISPF edit opens the PDSE for output when a member is selected.
  ISPF has changed this so that PDSs and PDSEs are processed in
  the same way, the data set will be opened for output only when
  saving the data.  This will reduce the window when other systems
  will be prevented from accessing the PDSE.
