Pairing members

In a similar way to pairing files, pairing members from MACLIBs or TXTLIBs firstly involves the members being selected.

To be selected for the new list, the member must be a member of the new MACLIB or TXTLIB and have the same prefix as the prefix on the new Member field. To be selected for the old list, the member must be a member of the old MACLIB or TXTLIB and have the same prefix as the prefix on the old Member field.

For example:

  New File ID ==> new  maclib  a             Member  ==> abc*
  Old File ID ==> old  maclib  a             Member  ==> *

The new list consists of all members of NEW MACLIB A with a name having a prefix of "ABC" and the old list consists of all members of OLD MACLIB A.

Members are paired if the member name appears in both lists. For example, if the member name "ABCD" appears in both lists, the Member Selection List pairs the name.
