Get member information

File Manager uses the exit to extract information about members, such as the name, date created, date last modified, size, and modification level.

The exit must format the data for each member to display the information on a File Manager ISPF Member Selection List (MSL) panel. This panel has a prefix command area or SEL field on the left of each line, then the member name, then the "Prompt" area where messages such as "*Browsed" can be placed, and finally space for member attributes such as date created. The attributes placed here may depend on the functions supported by the LMS, and are completely controlled by the exit. File Manager simply places the attribute text provided by the exit into the MSL panel.
