Input Commands

The following input commands are available on the Active Bundle List 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.

REDISP

Redisplays (or refreshes) a selection list with current information

Because definition and active data can be concurrently updated and added by the started task, batch jobs, and online users, data displayed on a selection list can become outdated. Recent changes and newly added data are obtained when the REDISP command is entered.

The syntax of the REDISP command is as follows:

REDISP [ ON | OFF ]

Where:

ON

Refreshes automatically the display when you press Enter

OFF

Refreshes the display only when the REDISP command is entered

The ON and OFF parameters are temporary overrides to the REDISP initialization parameter setting and are only retained for the duration of the session.

If the ON/OFF parameter is omitted, the display is refreshed without altering the current ON/OFF state.

For sorted lists, enter the REDISP command to refresh the display.

Valid entries are RED, REDISP, REF, and REFRESH.

RIGHT

Toggles between the three active displays.

SELECT

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

If the specified bundle identifier does not exist, an entry is created for it.

Valid entries are S, SEL, and SELECT.

SORT

Sorts the Active Bundle List by bundle identifier, bundle status, and exceptional condition

Up to two fields can be sorted.

The syntax of the SORT command is as follows:

SORT field1 field2

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.

BUNDLE

Sorts by report identifier.

You can enter BUNDLE as BID or B.

Sort Sequence: Ascending

STATUS

Sorts by bundle status.

You can enter STATUS as STAT or S.

Sort Sequence: Ascending

EXCPT

Sorts by exceptional conditional.

You can enter EXCPT as EXC or X.

Sort Sequence: Ascending

To sort the selection list by exceptional condition, enter the command:

sort excpt       

To sort the selection list by status and bundle identifier, enter the command:

sort status bundle     

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 exceptional condition, LOCATE LATE scrolls the list to the entry or closest entry whose exceptional condition is LATE.

If the SORT command is entered by itself without a field, the standard dynamic list, which is sequenced by bundle identifier, is displayed.
