Pasting items from the clipboard

Some tables in z/OSMF provide a Paste, Paste Before, or Paste After action that you can use to insert the items that are stored on the clipboard into a table. You can only copy and paste or cut and paste within a z/OSMF task tab.

Procedure

  1. Complete one of the following actions:
    • If the table provides a Paste action, select it from the Actions menu.
    • If the table provides a Paste Before and Paste After action, first select the item to insert the copied items before or after. Then, select Paste Before or Paste After from the Actions menu or context menu.

    If you are working with the non-tree view of a tree table, the Paste, Paste Before, and Paste After actions are disabled after you sort or filter the table.

  2. To paste the items again, repeat Step 1. The items remain on the clipboard until you cut or copy other items to the clipboard or close the task tab.

Results

The items cut or copied to the clipboard are displayed in the table according to the sort and filter criteria specified. If an item to be pasted duplicates the name of an item contained in the table, an underscore (_) and a number are appended to the name of the item being pasted.
