- Enhancing File Manager processing
  You can enhance normal processing of a number of File Manager tasks by supplying a procedure that runs in conjunction with the File Manager process.
- Redefines criteria
  Redefines criteria can be specified for a field with a REDEFINES clause, or a field that is the target of a REDEFINES clause.

Destination of File Manager print output

Any File Manager print output that you produce in a batch job is sent to SYSPRINT by default.

Sections of the output can be directed instead to the following ddnames:

FMNROPT: File Manager active options
FMNRPRM: $$FILEM command parameters and return codes
FMNRPRC: REXX procedure statements read from SYSIN
FMNREPT: Command reports and return codes
FMNRSUM: TALLY summary report

If FMNPRINT is present in the JCL, it is used instead of SYSPRINT.

In a REXX procedure, the destination for File Manager print output depends on the value of the PRINTOUT parameter of the SET function:

SYSPRINT: Output is sent to the current SYSPRINT allocation.
SYSOUT=c: Output is accumulated in the data set specified by the PRINTDSN parameter of the SET function.
To browse your print output online, use Print Browse (option 3.9). This option is a shortcut to browsing the data set specified by the PRINTDSN parameter. To go to the Print Browse panel directly from any other File Manager panel, enter PB on the Command line. For information about using the Print Browse panel, see Printing from File Manager.
TERMINAL: Output is sent to the terminal.
REXX: Output is written to a REXX stem variable. Each line of output corresponds to a variable named FILEM.nnn. FILEM.0 contains a line count.
After your first printing operation, lines of output are written in variables FILEM.1 to FILEM.n, and FILEM.0 has the value n. The next printing operation begins with FILEM.n+1.
