The SF line command invokes the Search-For Utility on the selected data set.

If the selected data set is a PDS or PDSE then the SRCHFOR Member List function is invoked. You can provide a single search string with the SF line command. (Example: SF string1). If no search string is provided the Srchfor Options popup window is displayed. Use this panel to enter multiple search strings, process options, and output options. You can use the process options "Set EDIT FIND string" and "Set BROWSE FIND string" to initialize the FIND string in Edit and Browse from the first SRCHFOR string. Use the output option "Filter list" to list only the subset of members that contain one of the search strings.

An option E, V, or B can be entered immediately after the SF command. This will set the default action (Edit, View, or Browse) for when the S line command is used to select a member in the enhanced member list. (Example: SF B sets the default action in the member list to Browse.)

See Search-For utility (option 3.14) for more information.
