GENERAL INFORMATION MEMBER SELECTION SCREENS in FILE-AID

A member selection screen is an alphabetic list of the members of a partitioned dataset.  It is displayed when requested from any of the File-AID functions 1-10.     

In most functions it is possible to obtain multiple member lists prior to entering the function.

Scrollable data display screens show file contents or record layouts and allow up/down scrolling, and in some cases left/right scrolling.  On many scrollable data display screens, you can also update file contents by typing over fields on the screen.              

   The example below shows the edit formatted screen.  You can scroll using the UP and DOWN commands, and can update file contents by typing over the FIELD VALUE column.

GENERAL INFORMATION UNSCROLLABLE DATA DISPLAY SCREENS

  Unscrollable data display screens show "nonrepeating" information which fits on a single screen.  The Selection Criteria Options screen shown below is an example of this type of screen.
