Search Utility Member Directory

When a blank member name or a wildcarded member name is specified in the Search utility submenu, a partitioned data set member list displays in response to a wildcarded or blank member name field. If the member selection criteria were specified in the Selection Criteria, the list of members reflects only those members that matched any wildcard in the member name field and contained records that matched the specified selection criteria

***************************** End of Member List ******************************

Each line item contains the following fields for each data set.

• Msg – informative message reflecting the action taken on the member
• Size – number of records within the member
• Created – the date the member was created
• Changed – the date and time of the last update to the member
• ID – the userid associated with the last update or creation of the member

Primary commands supported by the Search Utility Member Directory are as follows:

LOCATE | L

This command, 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.

MEMBER

This command followed by valid selection criteria can be used to specify additional member selection criteria. Using this command format reduces the current member list to only those members that contain records that match the specified selection criteria. Successive MEMBER commands can be used to continually reduce the current member list. For example, MEMBER 'ABC' reduces the member list to only those members that contain the characters ABC in one of their records. A subsequent MEMBER 'XYZ' command reduces the member list to only those members that contain the characters ABC and XYZ.

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 when you type 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.

S member

Selects a member from the data set for processing. The member does not have to be in the current member list to be selected. The member can be a generic member name such as 'A*' which will select all members whose name starts with the letter 'A', or '*' which will select all members from the directory.
