List Function and Selection Lists › LONG Selection List

LONG Selection List

The LONG list shows information about each member on the CA Librarian library: The member name, the date of last update, the language code, the description, the number of levels, and the status. Your site can have alternate LONG list displays, formatted differently or showing different information. To display these alternate panels, use the ALT command on the command line.

To process a member on the LONG list, place the first character of the function you want in front of the member name.

Shown is a line selection from the ELIPS LONG selection list. E (or S) selects member CCFSCAN to edit. You can select multiple members at one time from the list and the command line. The commands are processed first from the command line then the selection list.

The ALT command changed the list to an alternate format and CCFSCAN is marked as being EDITed and UPDATED. Member CC was selected to BROWSE and member CCFSLATS was selected to PRINT. The ALT command is once again entered to change the list to the second alternate format.

The last alternate display shows the three members that were accessed. The list regenerates only when the END, LIST, SHORT or REFRESH commands are used.

You can select an archive level other than the current one by overtyping the date in the UPDATED field with the date when the desired level was current. You can omit an even number of characters from the right hand end of the new date specification. If you do, CA Librarian assumes the highest possible values. See the Batch Command Reference Guide for a complete discussion of specifying an archive level by date and time.

You can specify any command suitable for a selection list command line after COMMAND. They can be the ELIPS functions described in the Command Syntax for ELIPS Functions section in the “ELIPS Functions” chapter, the selection list commands described in the Selection List Commands sections at the beginning of this chapter, or the END command to return to the main panel.

A running total is kept for you of the number of members processed and updated in the current session. The name of the CA Librarian library displayed on the selection list is shown, as is the programmer name if one was specified, and any wildcard specification.

Then each member is listed, followed by a blank field for you to enter a password if your site requires it for any processing.

If you need to find out the password, display the CONTROL INFORMATION screen by specifying I in front of the member name.

The UPDATED field accesses a previous archive level of a listed member for any appropriate function.
