Figure 3-3. Data Element Browse Element Selection
The Element Selection panel lets you review the
alphabetical list of data elements for the file you have
selected, and select a subset of dictionary elements you want
to browse.
You can scroll through the list of elements using the UP and
DOWN keys or you can position the display at a particular
point in the list using the L command to locate on element
name or name prefix.
Use the S line command on the line of each element entry that
you want to browse, until you have built a complete list of
elements for browsing, as shown in the Elements field. (You
can also select an element by typing an S in the command
field followed by the element name.) Then use the B primary
command to browse those elements, one after the other. (Use
the DOWN key to go from one element to the next.)
If the data elements already identified are not the ones you
want, enter RESET in the command field. This will remove
every element from the browse list.
Use the B line command to browse sections directly without
building a list.
To return to the File Selection panel to see the complete
list of files, blank out the File field and press Enter. You
can also change the Area or File fields to see other lists.
The fields and commands on the Data Element Browse Element
Selection panel are as follows:
THE AREA FIELD - Area ===>
The Area field is used to enter a 3-character information
area name. This field is initially entered from the File
Selection panel, and can be changed while viewing the element
list from the Element Selection panel. You can switch to a
different information area by entering its name in the Area
field, or you can return to the File Selection list by
blanking out the File field and pressing Enter.
THE FILE FIELD - File ===>
The File field is used to enter a 3-character file name.
Tip: To use this express form of file selection (bypassing
information area selection), leave the Area field blank.
This field is initially entered from the File Selection
panel, and can be changed while viewing the element list from
the data element selection panel. You can switch to a
different file by entering its name in the file field, or you
can return to the complete list by blanking out the File
field and pressing Enter.
LINE COMMANDS
Line commands are entered to the left of one or more rows of
the data element selection list. The valid commands are:
B (Browse)
Browse the selected data elements immediately.
Equivalent to selecting the items and then requesting
the Browse primary command.
M (BookMark)
Add the data element named on the selected row into
the current bookmark list.
P (Print)
Print the selected data elements immediately.
Equivalent to selecting the items and then requesting
the Print primary command. This type of output is an
immediate print of the elements selected to SYSOUT=A,
or the output class specified on the User Options
panel.
S (Select)
Choose a data element to add to the element selection
list. This queue of data element names is then used
by the Browse or Print primary commands, after all the
desired data elements have been selected.
Multiple lines can be selected when using the line commands
listed above. However, you should not mix different line
commands in the same request.
PRIMARY COMMANDS - Command ===>
The command field is used to enter primary commands that
control the data element listing or the selection of elements
to browse or print. The valid commands are:
B (Browse)
Browse the descriptions of data elements named on the
Elements line. This list is built by the S (select)
command.
F (Find)
Scroll to the next line in the table display that
contains a given text string in the Name field.
After you have issued the F command with a search
argument, you can repeat the find by issuing the F
command without an argument.
The range of the F command is determined by the
subsetting already in effect on the display panel,
starting at the line after the current line. To
expand the range to all lines, use the ALL option.
Examples:
Search for "string" starting at next line of
display. Only consider lines that meet current
display subsetting criteria.
F string
Repeat the previous find.
F
Search for "string" starting at beginning of data,
and consider all lines.
F string ALL
L (Locate)
Scroll to the element named. If an exact match is not
found, an attempt will be made to scroll to the next
available name alphabetically.
Example: Locate a data element by name
L JOBAV (scroll to the first entry beginning
with JOBAV or greater)
M (bookMark)
Switch the display to the contents of the current
Bookmark List.
P (Print)
Print the descriptions of data elements named on the
Elements line. This list is built by the S (select)
command. This type of output is an immediate print of
the elements selected to SYSOUT=A, or the output class
specified on the User Options panel.
R (Reset)
Reset element selection by clearing the elements list.
S (Select)
Choose a data element to add to the element selection
list. This queue of data element names is then used
by the Browse or Print primary commands, after all the
desired data elements have been selected. Equivalent
to selecting the element with the select line command.
Example: Add selections to the Elements list.
S DAY DAYNAME ENDTS
SC (Subject Cross Reference)
Search for phrases in the guides that contain
specified keywords, or return to previous search
result.
Example: Search for sections using key1 key2 key3
SC key1 key2 key3
Example: Reshow last search text selection list
SC LAST
Example: Go to Subject Cross Reference Keyword
Selection
SC
SH (SHOW, AND, OR)
Subset the table display to those lines that contain a
given text string in the Name field.
After you have issued the SHOW command with a search
argument, you can further define search arguments
using the AND and OR commands. To undo the effects of
the SHOW command, use SH ALL to cancel SHOW.
Examples:
Considering all lines of data, show only lines
containing "string."
SH string
Perform logical AND on previous SHOW and current
search of "string."
AND string
Perform logical OR on previous SHOW and current
search of "string."
OR string
Turn off the SHOW command subsetting.
SH ALL
Tip: You can browse or print the text from your most recent
element browse or print by using the keyword LAST after the B
or P primary command.
Other acceptable primary commands are the standard ISPF PF
keys and Command Table commands, like Up and Down. If the
display list is too long to fit on one screen, these
scrolling commands allow you to move through the entire list.
