The available choices provide access to OLISTs populated from different sources. These lists are often used to diagnose problems and to find accessed resources. For example, on the OLIST created from data sets allocated to the ISPPLIB DDNAME (the ISPF panel library), you can issue the MEMFIND command to find where ISPF locates a panel within the linked list. Similarly, you can create an OLIST of migrated data sets of a specific volume pattern, cut the list, start an edit session, paste the data set names into the edit area, and create JCL to recall all of them at once. If you disable the DSLIST Action Bar, Data Set Commander places the special list options on the panel as additional commands.
