   The following information is displayed for each layout member:

   Name

   Identifies the name of each layout member.

   Description

   Identifies the layout provided when the custom record layout was created.

   Changed

   Identifies the date and time of the last update of each member.

   Size

   Identifies the number of records in each layout member.

   ID

   Identifies the user ID associated with the last update of each member.

5. Type one of the following valid line action codes on any layout member, and press Enter:

   I—Insert custom record layout: creates a new custom record layout member in the library

   D—Delete custom record layout: removes an existing member from the library

   S—Update custom record layout: selects an existing custom record layout for update, and the custom record layout member update screen opens.

   The corresponding action is performed.

To assist you in locating the member you want, the Custom Record Layout Update Member directory supports the following primary commands:

LOCATE | L

Followed by a value, positions to the first member directory entry whose sort sequence field is greater than or equal to the specified value.

For example, when the directory list is sorted by the Name column, the L ABC positions the member list to the first member in the list whose member name is greater than or equal to the name ABC.

RES | RESET

Clears the selection indicator for all the members of the list.

SORT

Sorts the directory by any of the columns in the directory by typing SORT XXX or SORT XXX Y where XXX is one of the column literals and Y is A for ascending or D for descending.

For example, SORT CREATED sorts the directory in descending order of Created Date, and SORT ID A sorts the directory in ascending order of User ID.
