Variables That Supply Information about the List Entries

z/OS DFSMS Using the Interactive Storage Management Facility
SC23-6856-00

All the data on the list panel entries is available through the shared variable pool. A variable is assigned to each of the data columns on the list panel. These variables resolve to the value in the data column for the current list entry. The tables on pages Contents of the List Panels through Table 9 list the variables for the data columns on an application list panel.

Tip: If you print a list saved from a previous release, you might see fields that no longer exist in the current release.
