Assigning lists to a folder

Overview

You can specify one or several list names in each folder. You can assign a list to a folder only if a list definition exists under this name (form and extension).

Each list definition can be assigned to any number of folders.

Following are descriptions of two alternative procedures that can be used when assigning lists to a folder. The descriptions assume that a folder exists, without describing how to define the folder itself.

Note on folder groups

Both procedures can also be used when assigning folders to folder groups.

Procedure 1: Assigning lists by specifying names

This procedure is convenient for assigning an individual list to a folder when you know the form and extension of the list.

To assign a list to a folder:

1. From the Primary Selection Menu, choose option 2.4.
2. Type selection criteria in the displayed panel and press ENTER.
3. Enter line command L in front of the folder.

   If no list has been assigned to this folder, this will display the List/Report in Folder panel and you can proceed with step 5.

4. Enter line command I in front of any list in folder assignment.

   This will display the List/Report in Folder panel.

5. Type the name of an existing list definition in the Form and Extension fields and press ENTER.
6. Press PF3 to return to the Lists/Reports in Folder table.

Procedure 2: Selecting and assigning lists using a table

This procedure is convenient for assigning several lists to a folder in one step or for assigning an individual list to a folder when you do not know the exact form and extension of the list.

To assign one or several lists to a folder (steps 1 through 4 of procedure 1 and procedure 2 are identical)

1. From the Primary Selection Menu, choose option 2.4.
2. Type selection criteria in the displayed panel and press ENTER.
3. Enter line command L in front of the folder.

   If no list has been assigned to this folder, this will display the List/Report in Folder panel and you can proceed with step 5.

4. Enter line command I in front of any list in folder assignment.

   This will display the List/Report in Folder panel.

5. Type masks in the Form and Extension fields and press ENTER.

   This will display the matching definitions in the List/Report Definitions table.

6. Type the line command S in front of the list(s) that you want to assign to this folder and press ENTER.
7. Press PF3.

   This will display the (first) list in folder assignment selected.

8. Press ENTER to insert this list in folder assignment.
9. If you selected additional lists in the List/Report Definitions table, confirm these lists in folder assignments also by pressing ENTER.

   Note: To prevent that a list in folder assignment is inserted, press PF3. To prevent that a confirmation panel is displayed for each list, specify Yes in the Suppress Confirmation field; all remaining list in folder assignments you selected will be inserted without confirmation.
