The QSAVE and QRETRIEV ISMF commands let you save a "query" of frequently used parameters under ISMF. You can then retrieve the parameters by their query names. The QSAVE and QRETRIEV ISMF commands can be used while running the ISMF data set list or volume list options, interactively or in batch.
The Model Command Generator option creates a "model" command against each entry in a data set saved ISMF list, a saved ISMF volume list, or from DCOLLECT data. NaviQuest does the symbolic substitution.
Using the COPYFILT macro you can create synchronized filter lists (FILTLISTs) that can be applied across all ACS routines. Create a FILTLIST member in your ACS routine source data set. Make all filter list updates there. Then call the COPYFILT macro from the command line to have the changes replicated across all of the ACS routines.
