Saving the query
How to save an ISMF data set query using the ISMF DATA SET SELECTION
ENTRY PANEL
.
You can save the selection criteria you enter on the ISMF DATA SET SELECTION
ENTRY PANEL
as an ISMF data set query. Type the QSAVE command on the
command line and enter a one to eight character name in the Query
Name to Save or Retrieve field. This command saves the contents
of every selection criteria input field on the ISMF DATA SET SELECTION
ENTRY PANEL
as the specified query name.
The query is saved in member ISMFQDSN of the partitioned data set allocated to the ISPTABL ddname. If this is the first query saved and member ISMFQDSN does not exist, execution of the QSAVE command creates this member.
