Arranging columns
The ARRANGE command reorders and changes the widths of columns on the current panel.
The ARRANGE command (ARR) applies only to the current
panel. Each panel can contain uniquely arranged columns. Under ISPF, ARRANGE criteria are saved (one
set for each JES type).
Note: Arranging some columns to the first screen of columns may impact SDSF
performance. Where this is true, the help for the panel's fields indicates that the fields have
delayed access.
SDSF scales numbers to make them fit the column width. To see the actual
number, use ARRANGE to increase the column width.

The ARRANGE parameters are shown in Table 1.
The parameter usage is as
follows:
ARRANGE parameters
ARRANGE from-column A|B to-column
ARR from-column FIRST|LAST|width
DEFAULT
?
Consider
the following examples:
- ARRANGE SIO A DP - Moves the SIO column after the DP column on the current panel.
- ARR DEST 8 - Makes the DEST column 8 characters wide.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
from-column to-column | from-column and to-column each name a column on an SDSF panel. The column can be abbreviated to the shortest name that is unique for that panel. |
A | Moves from-column after to-column. |
B | Moves from-column before to-column. |
FIRST | F | Makes from-column the first column after the fixed field (the first column). The fixed field cannot be moved. |
LAST | L | Makes from-column the last column (farthest to the right). |
width | Sets the width of from-column; it is 4-20 for NP, 1-127 for other columns. You may need to press F11 (RIGHT) several times to view the width. |
DEFAULT | Resets the column arrangement to the default. |
? | Under ISPF, displays the ARRANGE pop-up. |
Additional ARRANGE commands
The ARRANGE DEFAULT command resets the column arrangement to the default.Under ISPF, ARRANGE ? displays the pop-up. You may find this to be the most convenient method of arranging and resizing columns.
This pop-up example moves Real to be after StepName.
Arrange Row 1 to 9 of 55
To move a column, select with / (// for a block), then type A
(after) or B (before). Special function keys:
