Search scrollable window

The Selection List Menu for the SuperC Search has only one window.

When you are searching a group of files, the search scrollable window shows an alphabetical list of the files generated by SuperC as a result of the New File ID (containing an "*") entered on the Primary Comparison Menu.

When you are searching a MACLIB or TXTLIB, the search scrollable window shows an alphabetical list of the members generated by SuperC as a result of the Member Name (containing an "*") entered on the Primary Comparison Menu.

The search scrollable window consists of the following columns:
