SELECT primary command

The SELECT primary command allows you to select one or more members in a member list, whether they are displayed or not. When you enter it on a member list displayed using the Edit option, this command even creates a member if you specify the complete member name of a member that does not exist.

The SELECT command optionally provides a quick method of calling the same line command for one or more members. The format of the SELECT command is:


>>-SELECT--+-pattern-+-----------------------------------------><
           +-*-------+   
           '-lcmd----'

where:

pattern: Either a complete member name or a partial member name that contains one or more asterisks (*), percent signs (%), or both as place holders. See Displaying member lists for more information about using patterns.
*: An asterisk, which means you want to select all members in a member list.
lcmd: One of these optional line commands: S (select), B (browse), V (view), D (delete), E (edit), or P (print). On a member list that has an expanded line command field, such as one generated by the M (member list) line command in the Data Set List utility (option 3.4), you can also enter a TSO command, CLIST, or REXX exec. If you do not enter a line command, S is the default.

The member list shown in Figure 1 contains members INT and INTTOOL. This command selects these members for printing:

SELECT INT* P
