Usage notes

  • If no operand is specified, a prompt menu is displayed for entering the pattern to populate into the list.
  • You can enter OLG at any time from any panel.
  • You can further modify the object names directly in the OLIST or by entering a standard EDIT session via the UPD main command.
  • You can store a temporary OLIST via the SAVE main command into a permanent private OLIST.
  • You can use OLG in an object oriented Point-and-Shoot fashion, by pointing the cursor at any delimited character string instead of typing the DSNpat argument.
