If I run the command
Code:

address ISPEXEC "view dataset('"tempdsn"') macro("macroname") ",
                "parm(temp)"                                     

and tempdsn contains, say PLAS.COBOL, then ISPF will present me with a list of members in the PDS and allow mt to choose a specific one to run the macroname against. Fine (and neat).

My question is, is there any "hidden" method of retrieving the name of the member chosen after VIEW is finished ?

It occurred to me that I could (in the first macro run) do a VPUT on the member name and then VGET it before running the second macro, but I would have thought the selected member's name is saved somewhere ?
