Copybook or Template
The name of copybook, template (non Db2®), IMS view or IMS criteria set that you want to view or print, which is specified using:
Data set name
The name of the sequential or partitioned data set that contains the copybooks, templates, IMS views or IMS criteria sets that you want to view or print. Can be a fully-qualified data set name or a pattern. The name may include a member name or name pattern in parenthesis. If the member is specified here, the associated Member field must be empty.
Note: A copybook must be a member of a partitioned data set. Templates, IMS views and IMS criteria sets can be in a sequential data set.
Member
If you specified the name of a partitioned data set (PDS) without including a member name or name pattern in parenthesis in the Data set name field, then you can use this field to specify the member name or a member name pattern.
Processing options
You can specify whether to view or print the layout and also request batch or foreground execution. The options are described below:
View/Print Option
This option is ignored for batch execution.
1. View
Displays the report on a scrollable panel.
2. Print
Prints the report to the current print data set.
Batch execution
Runs the function in batch. The Set Batch Job card Information panel can be used to tailor the default JOB card that File Manager uses to generate JCL.
Show array elements
Shows all occurrences of array elements.

For COBOL OCCURS DEPENDING ON arrays, the maximum occurrences are shown. For PL/1 REFER arrays, the minimum occurrences are shown.

Show start/end as hex offset
Shows start and end values as hexadecimal offsets.
Show length in hex
Shows length values as hexadecimal.
Show template criteria
Shows any identification and selection criteria contained in the template.

If a copybook is being viewed or printed, this option has no effect.
