The ability to override a property group needs to be available at the dataset level

Currently the ability to override a property group exists at the member level only. When setting up PDS's on the mainframe they are normally set up by project. As such any property group overrides necessary for one module in the PDS is normally necessary for all the modules in the PDS. It is logical then that the ability to override a propertry group be available at the dataset level.

    We have set up our property groups to match the concatinations that our Endevor system uses. But when programs are first being developed many times programmers will put copybooks and programs in thier own PDS's. To work around this you either override the property group for each program affected, or you have to copy the existing property group and create a new one with the test PDS added. It would be a nice option to be able to use the override property group at a higher level than the program level as a temporary change in the early part of a project, rather than creating additional propetry groups. We already have 26 property groups defined to support all our Endevor enviornments.

    Can you please clarify the usecase that prompts you to change or override at member level. If all the source is in single PDS - and those are the ones being built, why can't the properties set at the sub project level be sufficient ? Thanks.
