Printing more than one data set member

To print more than one member of a data set, you need to display a member list from which you can select members. To display the member list, leave the OPTION line blank on the Library Utility panel. Then specify the three data set qualifiers in the ISPF LIBRARY field and leave the MEMBER field blank.

-------------------------------  LIBRARY UTILITY  -----------------------------
OPTION ===>

    blank - Display member list               B - Browse member
    C - Compress data set                     P - Print member
    X - Print index listing                   R - Rename member
    L - Print entire data set                 D - Delete member
    I - Data set information                  S - Data set information (short)

ISPF LIBRARY:
    PROJECT ===>  prefix
    GROUP   ===>  memo      ===>             ===>            ===>
    TYPE    ===>  text
    MEMBER  ===>                    (If option "P", "R", "D", or "B" selected)
    NEWNAME ===>                    (If option "R" selected)


OTHER PARTITIONED OR SEQUENTIAL DATA SET:
    DATA SET NAME ===>
    VOLUME SERIAL ===>              (If not cataloged)

DATA SET PASSWORD ===>              (If password protected)

You then see a list of member names and information about each member. To print members, type p next to the members you want printed. When you press the Enter key, the word ‘*PRINTED’ appears next to the members you selected and the member is sent to the LIST data set. When you are finished printing members, press the END PF key (PF 3).

Note: On this panel you can also type b to browse, r to rename, and d to delete a member.

Exercise

Print a member of a data set by following the examples starting at Printing one data set member. If you have a data set member named PREFIX.MEMO.TEXT(FEB27), enter its name on the Library Utility panel. (To display the names of your data sets, select the DSLIST option (option 4) on the Utility Selection Menu panel.) When the member goes to the LIST data set, you see the message:

MEMBER FEB27 PRINTED

If you have more than one member in PREFIX.MEMO.TEXT, leave blank the OPTION line and the MEMBER field to display a list of members. Select members to print by entering P in the action field next to them. Press the END PF key (PF 3) to exit the list panel and to see the message:

n MEMBERS PROCESSED

(n represents the number of members selected.)
