EDIT L1 A: Changes the current default cyclically through BROWSE, EDIT, and VIEW. The "L1" shows the nesting level.
------ SPFE.IBM.JCL --------------------------- B: Displays a nested OLIST History display, where you can review or process recently accessed data sets. When you exit this temporary OLIST (PF3), you return to the MSL.
*FILTER*EXCLUDE*SORT* C: Tailoring messages. Shows the conditions that have been applied to the MSL member list. By clicking a condition, you remove it. For example, if you click *FILTER*, you remove the filter applied to the MSL.
20 HIDDEN D: The number of members not currently in the displayed list. (This field is for information only. No action happens if you click it.)
NAME RENAME LIB VV.MM CREATED CHANGED SIZE INIT MOD USERID E: Clicking a column heading sorts the list by the values in that column, and adds "*SORT*" to the tailoring messages. The current sort column heading is highlighted. To sort in the default order (NAME), click the NAME field, or click the *SORT* tailoring message.
