Library Utility

z/OS ISPF Software Configuration and Library Manager Guide and Reference
SC19-3625-00

The library utility allows you to browse accounting records, members, and build map records. In addition, you can use this utility to delete members and their accounting and build map data, view, edit, build and promote members, and update a member's authorization codes.

The library utility is completely interactive and parallels the ISPF library utility.

Figure 1 shows the SCLM panel that appears when you select Option 1, Library, from the SCLM Utilities panel.

The fields on the SCLM Library Utility panel are:

Project
The project that you specified on the SCLM Main Menu. An additional field called Alternate is displayed if you specified an alternate project definition. You cannot change the Project or the Alternate fields on this panel.
Group
The group that you specified in the Group field on the SCLM Main Menu. The group field can be modified to specify other groups defined to the project.
Type
The identifier for the type of information in the ISPF library.
Member
The name of an SCLM library member. You can display a member list by leaving the Command field and the Member field blank or by leaving the Command field blank and entering a pattern as the member name. See Specifying selection criteria for details. Valid pattern characters are the asterisk (*) and the logical NOT symbol (¬).
Select and rank member list data

A one, two, or three character string that indicates the kind of information that appears on the member list panel. You can specify strings composed of the following characters:

T, to display text data; A, to display accounting data; and M, to display build map data.

Each character can only be used once. The order of the characters determines the order of the data on the member list. This option limits the type of data that appears with each member on the list, and only members that have the types of data specified will appear. For example, a member that only has text will not appear if the string AM is specified. All types of data that exist for a member at a particular level are subject to processing by library utility commands.

If only two types of data are specified and one of those is A (accounting), the language associated with the member will also be displayed. If only A is specified, both the language and authorization code will be displayed.

Hierarchy view
Selects as input the library entered on the panel, as well as all the libraries in its hierarchy view. The hierarchy is searched from the bottom up for the first occurrence of the specified member. If you do not select "Hierarchy view", only the library entered on the panel is used as input. This option is valid with all Library Utility - Entry panel or member list commands except delete, which defaults to a NO value.
Confirm delete
Allows you to specify whether you want a confirmation panel to appear when attempting to delete objects (text, accounting information, or build map information) with the SCLM library utility. If you select this field, the Confirm Delete panel appears every time you request a delete. In addition to confirming the delete request, this panel enables you to choose which information you want to delete for the member. If you do not select this field, the Confirm Delete panel does not appear for deletions and all data is deleted without any additional user interaction.
View processing options for Edit
Allows you to indicate whether you want to verify or update edit processing options or allow them to default to the values that last appeared on the Edit Data Entry panel. When you select this option, the SCLM Edit Data Entry panel displays so that you can verify or update edit processing options. If you do not select it, Edit options default to those values that last appeared on the Edit Data Entry panel. The panel does not appear.
Show member description
Allows you to display the member list panel FLMUSM#P, which contains an extra line displaying the description associated with a member. The Description is entered via SPROF command.
Process
Allows you to specify the processing mode for the Build or Promote commands. The value of the "Process" field is unique to the library utility. You will not be carried to or from the "Process" field on any other SCLM panel.
Execute
Invokes SCLM Build or Promote in the foreground. The Build or Promote options default to those values that last appeared on the Build or Promote Data Entry panel. The panel does not appear.
Submit
Invokes SCLM Build or Promote in the background. The Build or Promote options default to those values that last appeared on the Build or Promote Data Entry panel. The panel does not appear.
View options
Displays the SCLM Build or Promote Data Entry panel so that you can verify or update Build or Promote processing options before execution.
Note: The value for "Confirm delete" is reset each time the library utility is entered. The values for "Select and rank member list data", "Process", "Hierarchy view", and "View processing options for Edit", are kept from session to session until you change them.
