When you return to a selection entry panel from a list panel, the selection entry panel still contains the previously specified values. If you press the ENTER key without changing the selection criteria, ISMF redisplays the original list without reaccessing the data sets or volumes in the list. A message appears in the upper right corner of the list panel to remind you of this:

DATA SET LIST                  REDISPLAYED LIST
                               SCROLL ===> HALF

If you do not change the selection criteria, the same list will be displayed during a single ISMF session until you exit from the Data Set or Volume Application used to create the list. On the selection entry panel, press ENTER to regenerate the list. There is no redisplay for the Mountable Optical and the Mountable Tape Volume Lists.

You can use the REFRESH command from the list panel of any application to regenerate the list without exiting the application.

To save a copy of the list, use the SAVE command (see Saving a Copy of the List).
