Using function keys with Dataset Manager
Program function keys facilitate movement between objects on object selection screens and help you quickly access the move queue. When these keys are available, they are listed on the bottom of the object selection screen.
These keys allow you to scroll between objects without having to press PF3 to return to a previous screen and then select another object. For example, say that Database A and Database B are listed on the DSM Database Summary screen. If you select Database A from this screen, the DSM Database Spacenames screen appears listing all of Database A's data sets. To view Database B's data sets, use the PF18 key (“next DB”). The database name in the Database header field changes to Database B, and the spaces belong to Database B are listed.
In addition, you can use the PF4 key from all Dataset Manager object selection screens to access the move queue. If objects have been added to the move queue, the DSM Move Dataset Queue screen appears. You can also enter the QEDIT command in the option line to access the move queue.
Table 1 summarizes the function key capabilities:
| Key | Function |
|---|---|
| PF4 | View the contents of the move queue. |
| PF17 Prev object | Move to the previous object. |
| PF18 Next object | Move to the next object. |
| PF19 First object | Move to the first object. |
| PF20 Last object | Move to the last object. |
