Because path names can be up to 1023 characters in length, ISPF uses scrollable fields throughout the z/OS® UNIX Directory List Utility for the display and entry of path names.

For path name output fields, if a + (scroll indicator) is displayed to the right of the path name it indicates that the path name is larger than the display field length. The RIGHT primary command can be used to view more of the path name by scrolling the value right. Use the EXPAND function key (F4) to display the entire path name field in a pop-up window.

For path name input fields the + scroll indicator is always displayed to the right of the path name, indicating that you can enter a path name larger than the input field length. The RIGHT primary command can be used to obtain more input space by scrolling the value right. Use the EXPAND function key (F4) to display the entire path name input field in a pop-up window.
