Type the data set name of the file to be searched. This file can be a sequential file, partitioned data set, or VSAM file.
When the input file is partitioned, one may leave the member name blank or type a wildcarded specification to get a list of all members that match the wildcard member name plus any additional MEMBER selection criteria that was specified. Once the member list is displayed, one or more members can be selected for processing or additional MEMBER selection criteria can be specified.
If an '*' is specified, the member list is not displayed and all members in the data set or members that match any additional MEMBER selection criteria are immediately searched.
If the input data set to the search function is uncataloged, you must type the volume serial of the volume on which the data set resides.
Type the data set name of the Record Description Copy Library member that describes the file to be searched. You can also type a wildcarded DSN to request a list of data sets from which you can select the desired data set. This field is required when using the LAYOUT primary command.
Type the Member Name of the Record Description Copy Member that describes the input file.
Leave this field blank to receive a directory of the members in the Layout data set. You can also type a wildcarded member name to receive a directory of members that match that wildcard.
Specify the LAYOUT command on this panel when you specify a layout data set and member and you also want to dynamically build the selection criteria by Field-Names defined in the record layout.
The Search Preview data set name is optional and when specified is used as an output data set by the search function.
With Search, this data set will contain all records that matched the specified search criteria.
If a DSN is specified, it will be deleted and re-allocated with the appropriate characteristics required to hold the records from the "Search data set." Upon completion of the function, a File Master Plus Browse screen is displayed showing the records that matched the search criteria.
If a DSN is not specified, a temporary data set will be allocated.
Selection criteria are used to restrict your view to certain members or records based on the following types of parameters:
For a complete explanation of selection criteria and examples of valid syntax, see the chapter "Filters."
Use a cataloged selection criteria parameter member that has been defined using CA File Master Plus Option 0.3.
Use the primary command LAYOUT.
