M — display member list

For the M command, a member selection list of a partitioned data set is displayed. This member list provides an expanded line command field in the area to the left of the list. The line command field in other member lists has room for only one character, unless the browse, view, or edit enhanced member list is selected.

From the member list, you can use the same primary commands and line commands that are valid for Library utility (option 3.1) member selection lists. See the information about Using Member Selection Lists and Library and Data Set List Utility Line Commands in the Libraries and Data Sets topic in the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I.

Note:

From a VTOC list, you can browse a single volume of a multivolume non-SMS data set.
You can chain the line commands; that is, you can select multiple members from a member list for various processing tasks. Use the CANCEL command (from a View, Browse, or Edit session) to break the chain and return to the member list.

You can also enter TSO commands, CLISTs, or REXX EXECs in the Line Command field. If you enter a line command other than B (browse), D (delete), E (edit), R (rename), C (copy), M (move), G (reset), J (submit), or P (print), ISPF interprets it as a TSO command, CLIST, or REXX exec.

If the prompt field contains non-blank data that does not start with "*" then the prompt field data is passed as an argument:

COMMAND 'DSN(MEMBER)' prompt

See TSO commands, CLISTs, and REXX EXECs for more information.

Note: If the TSO command, CLIST, or REXX exec issues a return code greater than or equal to 8, processing stops and an error message is displayed.
