Selection mask - - DOCUMENTATION field - -

The purpose of this field is not for file or library element selection. The name of a file can be specified here, to which the files or library elements that appear on screen can be saved in a printable form.

file The file list should be saved to a file with the specified name. This file can be printed with SPACE=E.

file, E A documentation file that already exists will be opened in EXTEND mode.

file, INF File descriptions that were entered in a CFS data catalog with the IM Action Code (see Chapter 13, "CFS File Information System") will be transfered to the documentation file as well. Only the first 52 non-blank characters will be transfered. In this way, the print positions up to column 132 of each line will be filled with the beginning of the respective file descriptions.

file, INF, ALL [, SKIP]

As above, but the full file description will appear in the list.

SKIP The SKIP option will suppress empty lines in the list.

file, INF, FORM= [f | NO] [, SKIP]

Only those pages will be transfered from the description that contain the format f (one- to three- digit alphanumeric description, see page 13-), or that have no format (FORM=NO).

Notes:

If nothing is entered in this field, then in ADOC mode (Automatic Documentation File, equivalent to the ADOC/NADOC command), the file list will be written to a standard temporary file with the name '#CFS.SAVELIST.[jobname|tsn]' tsn will be used if no job name exists. The prefix '#CFS.SAVELIST.' can be changed by the systems administrator.

If the documentation file is to be used to swop quickly between two file lists (RL function), or for selection according to multiple criteria in different steps (OLDLIST), refer also to the RL and OLDLIST options in the FILENAME-SELECT field on page 4-. Also: SL/RL (Save List/Restore List) commands on page 7-/7-, ADOC (Automatic Documentation) and DOC parameters on pages 18- and 18-.
