The Data Index has two options: the DDNAMES/DSNAMES and the Sort Order options.

DDNAMES/DSNAMES

Allows switching between a panel listing data set names, as shown in Figure 1, and a panel giving a condensed list of systems belonging to the sysplex, as shown in Figure 1.

Sort Order

Specifies the sort order of the displayed data sets.

The sort criteria are at first the System ID and within each system the end date/time of the available data.

If more rows than one with the same system ID exist, the usable data sets that are not empty are listed first, then the empty data sets, and finally the unusable data sets. The usable data sets that are not empty are sorted by the end time of the stored data.
