Filtering the Sublibraries of a z/VSE File

Before displaying the sublibraries of a z/VSE file, you can define a filter so that only those files are listed which correspond to your filter criteria.

To define a filter

1. In the object workspace, select the appropriate file in the Files folder.

   Or:
   Select a file in the list view window which shows a list of sublibraries.

2. Invoke the context menu and choose either Filter Subobject (when a file has been selected in the Files folder) or Filter (when a file has been selected in the list view window) .

   Or:
   Press either CTRL+F3 (for the Filter Subobject command) or F3 (for the Filter command) .

   A dialog box appears. Its name in the title bar depends on the command that has been used.

   

   Note:
   When you have chosen the Filter Subobject command, several text boxes are dimmed.

3. Enter the filter criteria.

   Option	Description
   Library/Dataset name *	The files that are to be displayed. You can use a combination of strings and wildcards (* and _) to display the files matching the dataset name pattern.
   Sublibrary	The sublibraries that are to be shown. You can use a combination of strings and wildcards (* and _) to display the sublibraries matching the sublibrary name pattern.
   Volume *	If you do not specify a volume, only the files are listed which are currently known to Entire System Server. If you do specify a volume, the files contained in the specified volume are listed.
   VSAM catalog *	Name of the VSAM catalog where the library is kept. Not required if dataset is defined in standard labels.

   ^* Cannot be modified with the Filter Subobject command.

4. Choose the OK button.

Listing the Sublibraries of a z/VSE File

The number of objects shown in the list view window depends on whether or not a filter has been defined for the sublibraries of a z/VSE file (see Filtering the Sublibraries of a z/VSE File).

To list the sublibraries of a z/VSE file

1. In the object workspace, select the appropriate file in the Files folder.

2. Invoke the context menu and choose List.

   Or:
   Press F8.

   The sublibraries of the selected file are shown in the list view window:

   

   The number of members contained in a sublibrary is listed in the Members column.
