Select a Member from the Member Directory

When you type a wildcarded member name in any of the member fields, the Member Directory displays a list of the members in the library that match the wildcarded entry.

Follow these steps:

  1. Type a wildcarded or blank member name. Use an asterisk (*) to represent any number of characters with any value. Use a percent sign (%) to represent one character of any value.

    The Select Member to Process From screen opens.

  2. Specify S next to the member you want to select, and press Enter.

    The selected member name replaces the blank or wildcarded member name on the screen from which the member name directory was requested.

    Note: You can use the SORT command to locate of the member you want from the Select Member to Process From list. Sort 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, and SORT ID A sorts the directory in ascending order of User ID. The command L or LOC followed by a value positions to the first member directory entry whose sort sequence field is greater than or equal to the specified value.
