S line command — select a pointer to display storage

Use the S line command to choose a pointer from the address pointer stack on the pointer panel. IPCS then uses the pointer to display storage that is addressed by that pointer.

Note that you can also use the SELECT primary command.
  • Syntax
           S
  • Example: Select the third pointer from the pointer stack to view the storage location at X'00000210'. The screen shows the S line command.
