Using the retrieve function keys

When you are using the OMVS interface, there are two function key settings for retrieving commands:

Retrieve: This key performs a "backward retrieve" function. It retrieves a saved command from a stack of saved input lines, starting with the most recent and moving down to the oldest available line.
FwdRetr: This key is used with the Retrieve key to retrieve commands from the stack of saved input lines. If you press the Retrieve key one too many times and go past the line you want, you can press the FwdRetr key to display the line that was previously retrieved by the Retrieve key.

Press the Retrieve key repeatedly until the command you want to use is displayed on the command line. Once the command is displayed, you can modify the command or use it as it is displayed. Press <Enter> to run the command.
