This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

We are using ISPF VIEW to filter events in an open LDAP LOG data set (in use by LDAP) for example.
After a certain runtime from LDAP, and using ISPF VIEW to filter messages, VIEW terminates with I/O error during opening the LOG.
ISPF BROWSE is getting also I/O errors, but is able to handle this and we can see all messages in LOG.
Since ISPF VIEW has the capability to filter, we are very interested to integrate the same functionality as ISPF BROWSE has today into VIEW.
We have created PMR 33749,077,724 to analyze the I/O error in detail.
ISPF level2 came to the statement: The termination of VIEW is expected in case of I/O error (see 1). BROWSE has a different behaviour (see 2).
Here the details ISPF found:
1) ISPF VIEW calls ISPCDG to read the data:
- Both EDIT and VIEW read the entire file into storage.
- In case of I/O error ISPCDG SYNAD routine gets control.
ISPCDG SYNAD does: Close/Open and return to caller (VIEW).
- VIEW recognize I/O error and closes the DS per DESIGN.
This means: VIEW terminates after I/O error, this is the current logic in VIEW code.
2) ISPF BROWSE on the other hand only reads the data and itt uses the same interface:
BROWSE calls also ISPCDG to read the data.
- In case of I/O error ISPCDG SYNAD does exactly the same:
It Close/Open and return to caller (BROWSE).
- But BROWSE doesn't close the DS, instead it continues.
This means: BROWSE shows I/O error but can be used to read the data.
