Enhanced Search command panel
You can run all the options of the EFind command from the panel. File Manager maintains a history of the last 50 commands.
- String
- See the string description for the EFind command. This
field is scrollable so you can use the F10, F11 (Left/Right), and F4 (Expand) keys
to enter more than the displayed width. Leaving this field blank with the cursor
that is positioned on it will display the history list of previous commands.
From this panel, you can select (S) a previous command to populate the command panel or delete (D) a previous command from the history. If you select a previous command and run it unchanged, that command is moved to the top of the history search commands.
- String Options
- The default string matching option is character, but you can select Prefix, Suffix, or Word options. The details of the options are described in the field help. These options are the same options as available with the ISPF and File Manager editor FIND commands.
- Columns
- Use the from and to column numbers to limit the search area on a record as described for the ISPF editor and File Manager editor FIND commands.
- Member
- Use to specify your reference member. To produce a member list from
which you can describe and maintain your reference members, enter a generic
member name or leave the field blank with the cursor positioned on it and
press Enter. For a detailed description of the commands
available on the member list, see Enhanced Reference List panel.
To edit a non-generic or the selected member, select the Edit option.
- DDnames
- Enter one or more ddnames that are separated by blanks. To select from a list, enter a generic
ddname and use the S prefix command to select one or more ddnames from the list.
A generic ddname contains at least one % or *
character.
Use the scroll keys F10, F11 (LEFT, RIGHT), or the F4 (Expand) key to view or enter more than the display allows.
After you select one or more ddnames from the list, all data sets that are associated with the ddnames are searched. For example, if you enter SYS* ISP* XYZCICS, a selection list for ddnames matching SYS*, and a selection list for ddnames matching ISP* are generated.
You can select one or more ddnames that are inserted where the generic name was typed.
- DSNs
- Specify one or more resource names to be searched. Examples:
- Generic data set names
FMN.RFM*.CNTL FMN.PM*.CNTL
- A generic member name
DTORNEY.TESTPDS(A*)
- A generic data set name and member name
DTORNEY.TESTPD*(A*)
- An HFS directory
/u/fmn/Samples
- A mixture of HFS and partitioned data sets
FMN.SOURCE FMN.SAMPLES /u/fmn/Samples
- A generic CICS®
applid and Generic CICS®
files
FI:CICSD*:MYFIL*
- MQ messages
MQ:MQSS:MY.MSGS MQ:MQSS.NEW.MSGS
Use the scroll keys F10, F11 (LEFT, RIGHT), or the F4 (Expand) key to view or enter more than the display allows.
Note: If you want to search the resources more than once, record the resource names in an reference member. - Generic data set names
- Directory
- Enter / to limit the search to HFS directory
file names and partitioned member names.Note: If you select this option, only partitioned and HFS directories are searched.
- Drill
- Enter / to process all subdirectories under a specified HFS
directory or all member generations in a specified version 2 PDSE.Note: Use this option with caution because it might result in a long search.
For HFS directories, enter a number to restrict the depth of the nested subdirectories to include in the search.
For PDSEs that support member generations, enter a number to restrict the number of generations to be searched.
- Result
- Enter / to limit the search to the result of a previous search.
- Parmlib
- Enter / to include the current parmlib data sets in the search.
- Proclib
- Enter / to include the current system proclib data sets in the search. This parameter is for JES2 SDSF users only.
- Batch

- Jobcard
- Enter / to customize the File Manager job card that will be used for generating the JCL.
- Edit
- Enter / to change the default behavior of the Enter key from View to Edit on the resulting report.
- List
- Enter / to produce a member hit selection list with sortable columns. The search is limited to local partitioned data sets excluding load libraries.
- First
- Enter / to limit the search to the first occurrence of a member if more than one partitioned data set is being processed.
- ISPF Pack
- This option controls the behavior when processing ISPF packed
data. Select one of the following options if your data sets contain
packed data.
- 1. Asis
- If the input data set is packed, it will be unpacked before any processing.
- 2. Skip
- If the input data is packed, no processing occurs.
Leave this option blank when you do not want File Manager to check for packed records or unpack records for processing.Note: This is recommended for optimal performance.
