VIEW—view a member

The VIEW command allows you to view another member of the same data set. It also allows you to view any other data set or z/OS® UNIX file without ending your current Browse session.

The VIEW command has this syntax:


>>-VIEW--+--------+--------------------------------------------><
         '-member-'

where:

member: An optional member of the ISPF library or other partitioned data set that you are currently browsing. You may enter a member pattern to generate a member list.

For example, if you were browsing a member of library ISPFDEMO.XXX.COBOL, you could enter this command to display the panel shown in Figure 1:

VIEW CBLMAIN

If you do not specify a member name, the View Command - Entry Panel is displayed.

You end a nested View session the same way you would a normal one. When you end the nested View session, the current Browse session resumes.
