Primary Commands for the SSM Table Edit Panel

Enter primary commands in the Command field. You can issue the following primary commands from the SSM Table Edit primary panel.

ADD

Adds a resource name to the current resource table and sets the value of the associated columns to the non-blank data values in the panel fields. A verification message displays before the resource name is added.

DELETE

Deletes a resource name from the current resource table. A verification message displays before the resource name is deleted.

DEFAULTS

Sets the column-related fields on the panel to the relational table default values that were defined for the resource table.

EDCOL

Invokes the SSM table editor display for editing columns not displayed on the primary editor display panel.

EDPRE

Invokes the ISPF editor for editing the prerequisite column value. If ISPF edit changes the value, the resource's PREREQ column is updated and the new value is displayed on the primary SSM editor panel.

EDSYS

Invokes ISPF Edit for editing an alternate system list that can be awkward to edit using the resource panel display. (Available only when SSMGA columns are present).

EDGRP

Invokes ISPF Edit for editing a group list that can be awkward to edit using the resource panel display. (Available only when SSMGA columns are present).

FIND

Locates and displays the resource name specified in the command operand. If the name is followed by a trailing asterisk (*), the next highest resource name is displayed if the exact resource name cannot be found. If a higher resource name is not found, the first resource name is displayed.

NAMES

Displays the Resource Name Selection panel, from which you can select a resource name to edit.

NEXT

Displays the next highest resource name in the table. If a higher resource name is not found, the first resource name is displayed. This command can also be invoked by pressing the PF11 key.

PREREQ

Displays the status of any missing prerequisites for the resource. If issued for a resource with no missing prerequisites, then the list of all defined prerequisites is displayed.

PREVIOUS

Displays the previous resource name in the table. If the current resource is the first resource in the table, the last resource in the table is displayed. This command can also be invoked by pressing the PF10 key.

RESET

Clears all column data fields on the panel except the resource Name field.

STRUCTURE

Displays the RDF column definition structure of the resource table.

TABLES

Displays the Table Name Selection panel, from which you can select a resource table to edit.

All commands may have an optional operand with the value table.name or name. If specified, the operand values will replace the resource table name of the current panel, resource name, or both.

A resource is updated when a column of the currently displayed resource is changed; a command does not have to be entered. Since there is no table resource locking mechanism, the same table and resource can be updated concurrently. Column values are refreshed each time Enter is pressed.
