LOCATE command

The LOCATE primary command scrolls the list of data sets based on the field on which the data set list is sorted, as described under SORT command. Use this format:

LOCATE lparm

You can use the lparm operand with the LOCATE command for either of these situations:

If the list is sorted by data set name, specify a data set name.
If the list is sorted by another field, specify a value for the field by which the list is sorted.

For example, for a data set list sorted by volume, you could enter:

LOCATE TSOPK1

This command locates the first data set in the list on volume TSOPK1. If the value is not found, the list is displayed starting with the entry before which the specified value would have occurred.
