USS panel BPXWP20 "Work with Mounted File Systems" does not show the mount hierarchies.

It would be nice to see the hierarchy of mount points on the BPXWP20. An intuitive/topological presentation of file systems would be very helpful. 

The practical purpose would be unmounting an FS that has child mount points to other FS'es.

For example, I am not able to unmount the ROOT FS unless I unmount all child FS under it. 

Indented child FS can be shown below the parent FS as an example.

Having a clear view of what to unmount first before a parent FS can be unmounted would prevent errors with error messages that are cryptic.

 

Also, if we can filter all FS with common DSN high lever qualifiers. this would be great also similar what we can do with the DSLIST(=3.4)

We very much appreciate these enhancements.

Thanks,

Ed

    z/OS UNIX is no longer making updates to ishell. This type of enhancement should be directed towards ISPF for 3.17.
