The following input commands are available on the Bundle Distribution Specifications subpanel:

CANCEL

Terminates the current display and displays the previous panel; changed data is not saved.

Valid entries are CAN and CANCEL.

CONFIRM

Enables or disables the display of the Confirm Delete panel when definition data is to be deleted using the D selection code. The default is ON. Confirmation is automatically enabled when a new command is entered on the Primary Selection Menu panel.

The syntax of the CONFIRM command is as follows:

CONFIRM [ ON | OFF ]

Where:

ON

Indicates to enable the Confirm Delete panel. No subsequent delete requests are processed without requesting user confirmation.

OFF

Indicates to disable the Confirm Delete panel. All subsequent delete requests are processed without requesting user confirmation.

COPY

Copies definition specifications from another bundle identifier

The syntax of the command is as follows:

COPY id

Where:

id

Specifies the bundle identifier from which the specifications are to be copied

Specify the A or B selection code to identify the destination of the copy.

COPYLIST

Displays a copylist subpanel from which you can choose from available lists of distribution IDs to copy without reentering existing information.

FIND

Scans columnar data for a string of characters, then scrolls to and displays the entry at the top of the panel.

The syntax of the FIND command is as follows:

FIND string column [ FIRST | NEXT | LAST | PREV ] NOT

You can enter the FIND command as F.

The string specification identifies the search data. The string is matched against data starting in the first character of the search column.

The FIND command does not locate data that is embedded within the column.

If the string contains special characters, enclose the string within quotation marks.

The column name specification identifies the field that is to be searched. If omitted, the distribution identifier (DISTID) column is searched. The following columns can be searched:

DISTID

Distribution identifier.

You can enter DISTID as DID or D. If a column name is not specified, DISTID is assumed.

ADDRESS

First address line of the distribution identifier.

Column name can be specified as LINE.

The location specification identifies the origin and direction of the search. If omitted, the search begins with the row at the top of the current display. The location specifications are as follows:

FIRST

Starts the search at the beginning of the table and proceeds forward to the end of the table.

NEXT

Starts the search after the row that appears at the top of the current display and proceeds forward to the end of the table.

LAST

Starts the search at the end of the table and proceeds backward to the beginning of the table.

PREV

Starts the search before the row that appears at the top of the current display and proceeds backward to the beginning of the table.

The NOT specification indicates that the column is to be searched for data that is not equal to the string specified on the FIND command.

Note: For more information about the FIND command, see Input Commands in the chapter "Basics."

I

Displays the special instructions for the bundle.

R

Displays the report specification for the bundle.

RFIND

Locates the next occurrence of a previously issued FIND command.

If another occurrence is not found, a line not located message displays.

Typically, PF5 and PF17 are defined as the RFIND key.

SORT

Sorts the bundle distribution specifications by distribution identifier in ascending sequence.

Note: The list is saved in the new sequence after sorting. If this sequence is not what you want, enter the CANCEL command to ignore the changes.
