Issue/Introduction

When attempting to update a Superset.subset member within Panvalet you get the following error message:  A Superset may be retrieved but cannot be saved via the save command.

Environment

Release : 14.6
Component : PANVALET

Cause

Special procedures are required in order to make changes to Supersets.subsets within Panvalet.

Resolution

Here are the steps to update a superset.subset:

1) Using Panvalet ++COPY command copy superset.subset to be edited to a temp Panlib member.

2) In Panvalet ISPF edit update the temp Panlib member.

3) Using Panvalet ++COPY command copy temp Panlib member into superset.subset which will replace the subset.

To recover the lost Panlib members you will need to restore (++RESTORE command) the Panlib  from the Panvalet backup (created by ++DUMP command). This will recover all of the missing supersets and subsets. Then follow the update steps outlined above.

The following JCL is a sample of how to create a superset backup. This sample copies subset MYSS into new subset MYSSBKUP.

//BACKUP   EXEC PGM=PAN#1                                 
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PANVALET.V14R6.CBA3LINK
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                    
//PANDD1   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MY.PANLIB          
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
++COPY MYSS,MYSSBKUP                                      
/*                                                        

The following sample JCL copies a superset.subset to a Panlib member. In the example the sample JCL copies MYSS.SS03 to a Panlib member named TEMPMBR:

//COPY1   EXEC PGM=PAN#1                                 
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PANVALET.V14R6.CBA3LINK
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                    
//PANDD1   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MY.PANLIB          
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
++COPY MYSS.SS03,TEMPMBR                                 
/*                    

The following sample JCL copies a Panlib member into a superset.subset replacing the subset content. In the example the sample JCL copies TEMPMBR into the MYSS.SS03 subset replacing the SS03 content: 

/COPY2   EXEC PGM=PAN#1                                 
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PANVALET.V14R6.CBA3LINK
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                    
//PANDD1   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MY.PANLIB          
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
++COPY TEMPMBR.MYSS.SS03
