Using a Selection List

Follow these steps:

  1. Position the cursor anywhere in the desired field.
  2. Press F4 (or your designated Prompt function key if you have customized your function key definitions). The selection list which appears contains all the items that you are authorized to access. The fill character (dot) next to each item indicates that you can select only one item from this list. To select a name from the list:
    1. If necessary, search the list for a name or portion of a name, using the ISPF Find (F) or Locate (L) command. Enter F or L followed by the name or value to search for. Press Enter.
    2. Over the dot to the left of the desired item, enter a slash or any character except period. Press Enter. The selected value will be inserted in the field on the panel from which you requested the Prompt service.

    To return to the previous panel without making a selection, press your designated Cancel function key, or enter CANCEL and press Enter. Pressing End is not permitted from this panel.
