Member list display panel fields

z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I
SC19-3627-00

ISPF generates statistics each time you edit a member, unless your edit profile is set to STATS OFF. The fields shown identify the statistics in a member list:
Note: The column headers on a member list display (with the exception of Prompt) are point-and-shoot sort fields.
Name
Name of the member.
Prompt
The Prompt field serves a variety of purposes. You can rename a member by typing the new name to the right of the member name. You can type a slash character (/) in the first position of the Prompt field so you can define additional behaviors for a given action.

Also, the Prompt field acts as a status field, showing information about the last action taken for a member. If you run an edit macro or TSO command against a member, the 7-character informational status that is returned in the dialog variable ZPROMPT at the completion of the service is shown in this field.

Lib
Library number. The Lib field appears only if you specify a concatenated sequence of libraries. It shows the library that contains the member. In this example, if the member resides in the second library in the sequence, a 2 appears in the Lib field.
VV.MM
Version number and modification level. The version number is set to 1 and the modification level is set to 0 when the member is created. The modification level is the number of times this version has been modified. For example, 02.15 means version 2, modification 15.

If a member name is just an alternate name for another member, ALIAS appears in this field.

Created
Date this version was created. The format used depends on your national format. For example, 90/06/27 means June 27, 1990 to some, but so does 06/27/90 and 27/06/90 mean it for others.
Changed
Date and time this version was last modified; date is shown in the national format. Time is shown using a 24-hour format. For example, 17:20 means 5:20 p.m..
Size
Current number of lines. The largest number this field can display is 65 535.
Init
Number of lines when the member was first saved. The largest number this field can display is 65 535.
Mod
Number of lines in the current member that have been added or changed. If the data is unnumbered, this number is zero. The largest number this field can display is 65 535.
ID
The user ID of the person who created or last updated this version.

When you use View, Browse, and Edit, the current version and modification level are displayed in the title area, line 1, following the library and member name. You can change the version number, the user ID, or both, with the Reset ISPF Statistics utility (option 3.5) or with the LEVEL and VERSION Edit primary commands. Changing the version number updates most of the other statistics.

If you use the ISPF editor to delete all lines in a member of an ISPF library and then save the member, the statistics show that the member still exists but has a length of zero. To delete a member, including its statistics, use the Library utility (3.1).
