LOCATE Command

The LOCATE command locates a SYSOUT group or report in the selection list. Enter this command on the command line of any selection list as follows:

LOCATE id

Syntax

where id specifies the ID or partial ID of the SYSOUT group or report for which you are looking.

Command Rules

These rules apply to the LOCATE command:

You can abbreviate the LOCATE command as LOC or L.
If the Report-Id contains quotes, you must enclose it in single quotes. Any single quote in Report-id must be entered as a pair of single quotes because a non-paired single quote will end the ID. For example, if the value is JIM’S REPORT it must be entered as ‘JIM’’S REPORT’.
You can use a partial operand. With a partial operand, the first ID is located that matches the operand, regardless of the other characters in the ID.
If the specified ID is not in the list, the SYSOUT group or report that immediately precedes the specified ID is displayed at the top of the screen.

Example 1

To locate the ID Z27XY01, enter this value on the command line:

locate z27xy01

Example 2

To locate the first output selection with an ID that begins with W, enter this value on the command line:

l w
