The BROWSE primary
command allows you to browse a sequential data set, partitioned data
set member, or z/OS® UNIX file during your current edit
session.
Syntax
>>-BROWSE--+--------+------------------------------------------><
'-member-'
- member
- A member of the ISPF library or other partitioned data set you
are currently editing. You may enter a member pattern to generate
a member list.
Description
To browse a data set, member,
or z/OS UNIX file during your current edit session:
- On the command line, type:
BROWSE
or
BROWSE member
Here, member represents
the name of a member of the partitioned data set you are editing.
The member operand is optional.
- Press Enter. If you specified a member name, the current library
concatenation sequence finds the member. The member displays for browsing.
If you do not specify a member name, the Browse Command Entry panel,
which is similar to the regular Browse Entry panel, appears. You can
enter the name of any sequential data set, partitioned data set, or z/OS UNIX file
to which you have access. When you press Enter, the data set, member,
or z/OS UNIX file displays for browsing. The editor
suspends your initial edit session until the browse session is complete.
- To exit from the browse session, enter the END command. The current
session resumes.
Examples
To browse member YYY of the current
library concatenation:
- On the command line, type:
BROWSE YYY
- Press Enter.
