Input Commands

The following input commands are available on the Distribution Xref for Report panels:

LEFT

Toggles between the three active displays.

LOCATE

Scrolls to the entry whose name you specify as the operand of the command; if the specified name is not in the list, scrolls to the entry whose name immediately precedes that specified.

For sorted lists, the LOCATE command traverses the list based on the first or only sort field.

Valid entries are L, LOC, and LOCATE.

RIGHT

Toggles between the three active displays.

SELECT

Selects the distribution identifier you specify as the operand of the command for display.

If the specified report identifier does not exist, an error message displays.

Valid entries are S, SEL, and SELECT.

SORT

Sorts the selection list display by distribution identifier, bundle identifier, or output indicator.

The syntax of the SORT command is as follows:

SORT field

The following table identifies the field names that can be referenced on the SORT command and the predefined sort sequence used to order the data.

DISTID

Sorts by distribution identifier.

You can enter DISTID as DID or D.

Sort Sequence: Ascending

BUNDLE

Sorts by bundle identifier.

You can enter BUNDLE as BID or B.

Sort Sequence: Ascending

OUT

Sorts by output indicator.

Sort Sequence: Ascending

To sort the selection list by distribution identifier, enter the command:

sort distid                                       

After the list is sorted, you can use the LOCATE command to traverse the list based on the first or only sort field. For example, if the list is sorted by distribution identifier, LOCATE PROD scrolls the list to the entry or closest entry whose distribution identifier is PROD.
