The Menu Interface (TSO/ISPF Panels) › Transfer Request Display Screen › Using the LOCATE Command

Using the LOCATE Command

If you know some identifying attributes for a particular file transfer, you can use the LOCATE command to position the display at that file transfer.

Enter a command of the following format on the COMMAND INPUT line:

LOC attribute_label identifier

Provide only one attribute label for each LOC entry. The allowable attribute labels are as follows:

• DATE (start date)
• LOCFILE, LFILE, or LF (local data set)
• REMFILE, RFILE, or RF (remote data set)
• REMOTE, REMSYS, RSYS, or RMT (remote system name)
• REQNUM or RNUM (request number)
• TIME (start time)
• USER ID or UID (local user ID)
• XFERID or XID (transfer ID)

For example, to locate a file transfer with the request number 70342, enter the following:

LOC RNUM 70342

The display is repositioned so that the file transfer whose request number is 70342 appears as the first entry on the screen.

The identifier of the LOCATE command can also contain a wildcard character, * (asterisk), representing any character sequence. For example, the LOCATE command LOC XID BOY* causes CA XCOM Data Transport to display all file transfers whose transfer IDs (XID) begin with the three characters BOY (for example, BOYCOTT, BOYD, BOYSCOUT, and so on).
