HIDe command

field_name

field_pattern

Usage notes

If no operand is specified, all filtering is removed.

HIDe is a main command only; it cannot be used as a line command.

Up to six patterns (on six different fields), including member- name, may be specified in a single invocation; only the field name for the member name may be omitted, and only when it is the first pattern.

The HIDe command operates on the current MSL, removing from the list all members that match the pattern or patterns specified (and placing them on the hidden list).

To see members that have been filtered, enter FLIP and to remove all filtering, enter RESET ALL.

You can also specify a relative date keyword: TODAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR, RECENT (defined to the last ten days), or the minus sign followed by the number of days (from today). The relative date function can only be specified as the last parameter when invoking the FILTER command. The relative date must be in the ISPF US data notation format in the member list (YY/MM/DD).
