Avoid 3.4 option to view/edit a PDS or PS file

The usual way that all of us open a file is using ISPF 3.4 option and then give the name of the PDS or PS file

To avoid this we can use the option -
EPDF 'MYID.MYPS' - Dataset will open in edit mode

Similarly for view mode -
EPDF 'MYID.MYPS' VIEW
Or browse -
EPDF 'MYID.MYPS' BROWSE

Above commands are applicable for PDS as well
The only disadvantage with this option is - we have to type the full name of the PS/PDS file and something like MYID.MYPDS.* will not work
