Filter commands
Use the following special variables for function that is equivalent to the filter commands.
For some variables with names that begin with ISF, there are corresponding variables with names that begin with SDSF. These perform the same function, but are affected by the PREFIX option, so that their names include the prefix that you specify. In addition, if one or more secondary panels exists, these variables apply to the last secondary panel, rather than the panel that was accessed with a command. In the list that follows, these variable names are shown after the names that begin with ISF.
- ISFDEST
- specifies up to four destinations
to be used for filtering.
Each destination can be up to the maximum acceptable length for a
destination. See the DEST command in the online help for syntax, but
note these differences:
- The length of the value specified with ISFDEST can exceed the 42-character limit of the DEST command
- When specifying multiple destinations with ISFDEST, separate the destinations with a blank. Do not use the + operand used with the command.
- ISFFILTER / SDSFFILTER
- specifies filter criteria to be applied to the returned variables. Use the column names rather than the column titles. See the FILTER command in the online help. Use ISFFILTERMODE to specify the AND or OR relationship between filters.
- ISFFILTERMODE / SDSFFILTERMODE
- specifies a relationship between filters, both within a column and between columns. The relationship can be either AND or OR.
- ISFINPUT
- controls whether SYSIN data sets are returned. See the INPUT command in the online help.
- ISFOWNER
- specifies the owner to be used to limit the returned variables. See the OWNER command in the online help.
- ISFPREFIX
- specifies the job name to be used to limit the returned variables. See the PREFIX command in the online help.
- ISFSYSNAME
- specifies the system to be used to limit sysplex requests. See the SYSNAME command in the online help.
