Member Selection panel

The Member Selection panel provides a list of PDS or PDSE members, from which you can select members to be included in your current process.

This panel is displayed when you have specified a PDS or PDSE on an Entry panel and either left the Member field blank or entered a member name pattern. It is also displayed for directory lists produced by CA-Panvalet and other library management systems.

The fields displayed vary depending on the directory list being displayed. There are four types of display:

PDSs with formatted records
PDSs with unformatted records (such as loadlibs)
CA-Panvalet directory lists
Other library management system library directory lists

The common fields displayed (for all displays) are described below, followed by the specific fields for each type. Other library management system library directory lists are determined by the customer-provided interface and are not listed here.

(Prefix area)

Area in which you can enter one of the following prefix commands:

Browse

Browse the member.

Copy

Copy the member and any related aliases.

Delete

Delete the member and any related aliases.

For data sets that support member generations, the following additional options are displayed in a confirmation panel:

Delete the member and all generations.
Delete the member and recover the most recent generation to become the current member.

Edit

For member lists restricted to showing only templates, IMS™ views, or extract criteria, the corresponding template, view, or criteria edit is invoked. For all other member lists, it edits the member. View is substituted for members managed by other library systems.

G

Synonym for the RESET prefix command.

History

Display history information for data sets with member generations. Where the command is entered for an alias, the generations are displayed for the primary member.

This command is available only for version 2 PDSEs with MAXGENS greater than zero.

Jcl

Generate the link-edit JCL for the load module. This command is only active for loadlib member lists.

Move

Move the member and any related aliases.

Print

Invoke the File Manager Print utility to print the member.

REName

Rename the member.

For PDSEs that support generations, all member generations will also be renamed.

RESet

Invoke the File Manager Reset ISPF Statistics function to reset or delete the ISPF statistics for the member.

Select /

Select a member. Depending on the function from which this panel has been invoked, results in one of these actions:

A single member being selected and returned to the calling routine. (Note: subsequent selections are ignored)
Toggling of the selected value in the prompt field.
Selection of a member to be processed by the function that invoked the member list.

Note: This command is not valid when the panel is displayed as the result of the MEMBER prefix command.

SUbmit

Submits the member to the JES internal reader.

Update

This command is only active for member lists restricted to showing base templates only and invokes the source definition edit/update process for a selected template.

View

View the member if the member is not a load module. If the member is a load module, the load module CSECT information is displayed.

Name

The name of the member.

Prompt

A dynamic area that displays the last action that occurred for the listed member.

Alias-of

Displayed for PDS directories and shows the alias names. If a broken alias is encountered, no-alias is displayed.

Lib

The relative number of the library (as listed on the Library List panel). This column only appears if more than one library directory has been processed.

ID

The User ID of the person who last created or changed the member.

For data sets with formatted records, the following fields are displayed for members stored with ISPF statistics, otherwise they are left blank:

Size: The current number of statements in the member.
Created: The date the member was created, in YYYY/MM/DD format.
Changed: The date and time, in YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:SS format, on which the member was last changed.
ID: The User ID of the person who last created or changed the member.
INIT: The initial number of records in the member.
MOD: The current number of records in the member
VV.MM: The version and modification level of the member.

Note: Modifying the current member will update the ISPF statistics (if they are saved) for the current member but will not affect the ISPF statistics on the member generations.

For data sets with unformatted records, the following fields are displayed:

Size

The hexadecimal value for the load module size.

AC

Authorization code.

AM

AMODE binder value.

RM

RMODE binder value.

Attributes

Attribute values determined by binder:

RF: The module is refreshable.
RN: The module is reenterable.
RU: The module is reusable.
OV: The module has overlay structures.
NX: The module is not executable.
OL: The module is loadable.
SC: The module is scatter format.
TS: The module has test attribute.

TTR

The TTR of the first block of text.

For PDSEs the TTR field is a token that simulates the track and record location of the member, also known as Member Locator Token (MLT).

EPA

Entry point address associated with the member name or alias name.

SSI

SSI information word.

Columns for CA-Panvalet members:

Lvl: The member level.
Stat: The member status (such as T-TEST, P-PROD and so on).
User: User code.
Accessed: Last access date.
Changed: Last changed date.
Size: Number of statements.
Blks: Number of blocks.

Note: Some utilities (within ISPF, z/OS®, or third-party products) do not update the statistics kept for the Size, Created, Changed, and ID fields. If one of these utilities has recently changed the member, those fields are blank.
