Error description

  • IBM Communications Server for z/OS APAR PM19545 added
    the capability for a directory listing to distinguish between a
    PDS and a PDS/E in the DSORG column of the  output. If that
    option is enabled (with a LISTLEVEL 1 statement in the server's
    FTP.DATA configuration input), the client program might not
    recognize the new response (PO-E instead of PO).
    
    See Technote:
    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21468733
    
    This can cause z/OS Explorer Aqua to fail to display PDSE
    Members from the z/OS perspective.
    
    The folloing error message may be seen
    
    File Not Found IZE0816E File TEST.PDSE does not exist or is
    in use:
    com.ibm.cics.zos.comm.ZOSFileNotFoundException: File Not Found
    TEST.PDSE - 550 Retrieve of a whole Partitioned data set is not
    supported. Use MGET for this purpose.
