SCLM restrictions

The NRETRIEV key within SCLM does not use the standard reference list or personal lists. Instead, it uses a stack that is stored internally. The stack is not editable. The stack is saved from session to session as a single-line table called ISRSLIST.
Note: In the SCLM View option, the Other Data Set Name field does use the standard reference list because the Other Data Set Name field has no particular meaning to SCLM.
In SCLM, there is no validation of saved or retrieved names. That means that if you type in a library name and press Enter, it is added to the list of saved names, even if SCLM does not process it. This contrasts with the standard reference list processing, which does not add a data set or library name until the data set or library is successfully allocated.
On name retrieval (when the NRETRIEV key is pressed) there is no validation of the existence of data sets or libraries.
The regular NRETRIEV command is screen independent (it uses a separate list indicator for each screen in split screen mode). There is only 1 position locator for SCLM lists. This means that split screens with SCLM NRETRIEV will use the same pointer into the list. An NRETRIEV on screen 1 followed by an NRETRIEV on screen 2 will get list entries 1 and 2 respectively.
