Primary Commands for the Address Space Control Panel

You can issue the following primary commands from the Address Space Control panel. Enter primary commands in the Command field, which is indicated by an arrow symbol at the top left corner of the panel.

L target, LOC, or LOCATE

If the LOCATE command is entered prior to a SORT primary command, the target is assumed to be the name of an address space. If the named address space is found, the display scrolls so that the target address space appears in the top row of the Address Space Control panel.

If the LOCATE command is issued after a SORT primary command, the target is assumed to be the column name of the preceding SORT, and the LOCATE string syntax must conform to the displayed appearance of the sorted column.

SORT field order

Sorts the address spaces according to the value of the specified field. You may specify more than one field. If not specified, the default value for field is JobName. The value for order can be A (Ascending) or D (Descending), and may be specified for each field specified. The default value for order varies by field name.

For example, to sort the address spaces by CPU time in descending order (so that the address space that has consumed the largest amount of CPU resources appears at the top of the list), issue this command:

SORT CPU D

You cannot sort on the following fields:

Point-and-shoot is enabled to SORT the Address Space List using any displayed column. To SORT the Address Space List using the point-and-shoot method, place the cursor on a displayed column heading and press Enter. Point-and-shoot is enabled only if no primary commands have been entered.

GO {n}

The GO command is used to place the application in auto-refresh or go mode. n is the number of seconds for the application to wait between refreshes of the data. It must be a number between 1 and 60. If n is not specified, the previous n for this session is used. If a GO command has not previously been issued for this session, a default wait of 10 seconds is used.

To exit GO mode, do the following:

Note: Performing an attention when not in go mode results in the termination of the application the next time you press Enter.
