Member selection list commands

If the member list is too large for the screen, you can see other parts of the list by using the UP and DOWN scroll commands. These commands are valid for all member list displays. However, because a member list display can be no wider than 80 characters, you cannot use the LEFT and RIGHT scroll commands. See the z/OS ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide and Reference for more information about scroll commands.

These primary commands can be entered on the Command line in all member list displays:

These line commands can be used with member lists. These are 1-character commands that are entered to the left of the member name. The option you are using determines:
  • Whether you can enter more than one line command simultaneously
  • Which line commands are valid
  • Whether a Prompt or OLDMEM field is available.
Table 1 provides a quick reference to the differences between member lists and the line commands available on each one. The line commands are:
  • B (browse member)
  • C (copy member)
  • D (delete member)
  • E (edit member)
  • G (reset member statistics)
  • I (display member information)
  • J (submit member)
  • M (move member)
  • Start of changeN (display generation list)End of change
  • P (print member)
  • R (rename member)
  • S (select member)
  • T (invoke TSO command for member)
  • V (view member)
  • = (repeat last command).

The S line command is available for all member list displays except the Library and Data Set List utilities. See S Line Command for more information.

The B line command is available only for the Library, Move/Copy, and Data Set List utilities. The D, E, P, R, and V line commands are available only for the Library and Data Set List utilities.
Note: For the Data Set List utility, these line commands are valid only after you enter the M (display member list) line command. See Library and data set list utility line commands for information.

ISPF ignores any unprocessed member list commands when you leave a member list.
