Work with objects in an OLIST – Main Commands
Find <str> Find an object list entry.
<kywd> Keywords: ALL, FIRST,
LAST, NEXT, PREV, WORD
FindText <str> Find Text in the list of sequential,
<kywd> or PDS, or PDSE files in the object
FT <str> <kywd> list. Keywords: ALL, FIRST,
LAST, NEXT, PREV, WORD.
Hexadecimal and DBCS finds
supported.
FindMem <memnm> Find a member in any of the
<kywd> PDS or PDSE files in the object
list. Keywords: ALL, FIRST,
NEXT
#f-#l Line commands may be entered
<lne-cmd> as Main commands, acting on
many lines in the object list.
#f is the line number of the first
object or * (all objects).
#l is the line number of the last
object or * (to end of the list)
Example 1: 2-5 INFO - invoke
“INFO” for objects #2 to #5
Example 2: 101 D - invoke “D”
(delete) for object #101
Example 3: 23-* R - invoke “R”
(rename) for all objects from #23
until the end of the list
Example 4: * HRECALL -
invoke command HRECALL for
ALL objects
Work with Objects in an OLIST – Line Commands
A <dsn> Allocate a data set.
C <dsn> Catalog the data set
F <dsn> Free unused space
EXPDIR <dsn> Expand PDS Directories
EMPTY <dsn> Remove all members of the PDS
or PDSE data set
Info <dsn> Display information
R <dsn> Rename a data set
S <dsn> Perform default action on data
set. (Browse, View, or Edit)
U <dsn> Uncatalog the data set
Z <dsn> Compress the PDS data set
Tsocmd Any TSO command with a data

Example: HRECALL
Browse Browse a data set. Note: IPT
can be customized to Browse,
View, or Edit data sets such as
DB2 tables or VSAM files, using
products such as File Manager.
Other data sets such as USS
Files, or SCLM data sets can be
browsed using IPT.
View View a data set. See note above.
Edit Edit a data set. See note above.
HDELETE Delete migrated data sets
without waiting for recall.
HLIST Display archived information
about a data set.
MAPpds Display a data map of a PDS
library. In a PDS, deleted
members are retained until the
library is compressed. MAPpds
depicts deleted members as
synonyms.
COPY Copy selected members from a
PDS or PDSE to another data
set
COPYALL Copy all members from a PDS or
PDSE to another data set
MOVE Move selected members from a
PDS or PDSE to another data
set
MOVEALL Move all members from a PDS
or PDSE to another data set
?<cmd> Display a TSO command or
CLIST with dataset object name
and member.
Example: ?LISTDS - display a
panel with a LISTDS command
ready for execution.
%<Exec> Invoke a TSO CLIST or Rexx
Exec on a dataset object.
%MYCMD - execute Rexx or
CLIST MYCMD on current dataset

TAILOR TAILOR will define and execute
<Define>|<?> a string of MSL commands.
TAILOR D – Define Tailor strings
Example of Strings:
FILTER CHANGED -3;SORT
USERID (show only members
changed in the last 3 days, sort
list by userid)
MSL – Specifying a list of members
Note: Some commands below, such as FILTER,
temporarily mask MSL members. These members will not
be processed by the MAIN MSL commands.
eXclude <name> Remove one or more members
from the MSL
FILter <field> Select members to be displayed.
<value> … Example 1: FILTER *PAY* (List
members with “PAY”
Example 2: FILT CHANGED -
10 (List members changed in
last 10 days)
FLIP Exclude all displayed member
names and reveal all hidden
members.
REFresh Refresh member selection list
from directory
RESet Remove filters, unexclude
excluded members, sort by
member name, clear the rename
field (feedback message),
remove pending line commands,
and overlaying text notes.
SORT <field> Sort the MSL by NAME, LIB,
<order> VV.MM, CREATED, CHANGED,
SIZE, INIT,MOD, or USERID
UNFilter <all> Remove the current filter,
revealing the previous filter.
MSL Main Commands
COMPress <Lib1>… Compress a PDS.
DSNname <dsn> Switch to a new PDS or PDSE.
EMPty <lib1> … Remove all members of a PDS
or PDSE.
EXPDIR <lib> Expand PDS directory to
<BLOCKS blks> accommodate more members.
Find <mem> Find (or locate) a member name.
When the argument of FIND is
unquoted, the FIND command
locates the member name.
Find <txt> Find text within first or all
FindText <txt members. FIRST, ALL, PREV
FT <txt> or LAST may be used to locate
the text string. Hexadecimal or
DBCS strings may be used with
the FindText command.
Global Provide a panel to invoke Global
FIND or CHANGE commands,
and override the GLOBAL
settings during the operation.
Global Issue an ISPF Edit command
<edit-command> such as FIND or CHANGE on all
or selected members.
Example 1: GLOBAL FIND
‘SYSIN' (Find ‘SYSIN’ in all
members)
Example 2: GLOBAL CHANGE
'SISIN' 'SYSIN' ALL
(Change all members, all
occurrences of ‘SISYIN’ to
‘SYSIN’)
INFO Display data set information for
the library or libraries being
processed.
Locate value Navigate to the MSL entry with
<field> the value in the identified field.
Field defaults to member name.
