The VIEW primary
command allows you to view a sequential data set, partitioned data
set member, or z/OS® UNIX file during your current edit
session.
Syntax
>>-VIEW--+--------+--------------------------------------------><
'-member-'
- member
- A member of the ISPF library or other partitioned data set you
are currently editing. You may enter a member pattern to generate
a member list.
Description
To view a data set, member,
or z/OS UNIX file during your current edit session:
- On the command line, type:
VIEW
or
VIEW member
Here, member represents
the name of the partitioned data set you are editing. The member operand
is optional.
- Press Enter. If you specified a member name, the current library
concatenation sequence finds the member. The member is displayed for
viewing. If you do not specify a member name, the View Command Entry
panel, which is similar to the regular View Entry panel, appears.
You can enter the name of any sequential data set, partitioned data
set, or z/OS UNIX file to which you have access. When you
press Enter, the data set, member, or z/OS UNIX file is displayed for viewing.
The editor suspends your initial edit session until the view session
is complete. Viewing sessions can be nested until you run out of storage.
- To exit from the view session, enter the END command. The current
edit session resumes.
Examples
To view member YYY of the current
library concatenation:
- On the command line, type:
VIEW YYY
- Press enter.
