How to produce a Template List

The Template List can be produced using any of the following methods:

Option 7.8 from the File Manager main menu.
Invoking a REXX exec. See Keyword invocation from REXX. See also Setting up a REXX exec to invoke the Template List from an ISPF 3.4 data set display.
Invoking an ISPF command defined in the ISPF Command Table. See Setting up ISPF commands to invoke the Template List.
If editing a member (for example, JCL or reference list member) and the cursor is placed on the name of a partitioned data set containing templates, then pressing the enhanced search function key produces a menu where the Template pull-down option 6 can be used to list the templates for that data set. (See Using the File Manager pull-down options from your F4 function key).
Note: Set a function key to FMNELIBD FMPWT (using LIBDEFs) or FMNSRCHK FMPWT (not using LIBDEFs) to invoke the Template List bypassing the menu.
