ARRANGE

Command Type: Primary

The ARRANGE command lets you redesign your screen by showing the screen columns in whatever order you wish.

arrange.png

After you type ARRANGE or ARR, a window opens showing a list of all of the columns on your screen. To rearrange your columns, select one or more of the following line commands.

M (Move column)

M specifies the column you want to move. It will be moved before or after the column that you select with either the A or B command.

A (After this column)

The column you specified with M (Move column) will move after the column you specify with A.

B (Before this column)

The column you specified with M (Move column) will move before the column you specify with B.

L (Lock/unlock column)

Typing L toggles between locked and unlocked. Locked columns appear first from the left of the screen and are, therefore, the highest in the list of columns on the ARRANGE subscreen.

If multiple columns are locked, some of which you want to unlock, and you do not select to unlock the lowest locked column, the column you select moves below the other locked columns and changes its status to unlocked.

Columns that are unlocked that you want to lock will move up to the position below the last locked column.

If you move an unlocked column between two other unlocked columns, it will remain unlocked. If you move a locked column between two other locked columns, it will remain locked.

However, if you move an unlocked column before or after a locked column, it will become locked. And, if you move a locked column before or after an unlocked column, it will become unlocked.

H (Hide/unhide column)

Typing H toggles between hidden or visible. Hidden columns appear last in the list of columns on the ARRANGE subscreen and no longer appear on your screen.

If multiple columns are hidden, some of which you want to make visible, and you do not select to make visible the highest hidden column, the column you select moves above the other hidden columns and changes its status to visible.

Hidden columns move to the bottom of the list of columns above the first hidden column.

If you move a hidden column between two other hidden columns, it will remain hidden. If you move a visible column between two other visible columns, it will remain visible.

However, if you move a visible column before or after a hidden column, it will become hidden. And, if you move a hidden column before or after a visible column, it will become visible.

After you make your changes, you can type END on the command line or press PF3 to view the changes you requested. To cancel your changes, type CANCEL on the command line. To restore the defaults, type RESET on the command line.

The ARRANGE command can be used on any screen that contains columns. You can save any changes for future use on the Fault Summary, Abend-AID Directory, File Request Summary, and Task/Wait Analysis screens.

Example: Type ARR to bring up the Arrange Column Order subscreen.

ARR

FIND

Command Type: Primary

The FIND command locates hexadecimal or character data strings. Its function and syntax depend on the screen from which you are executing the command. By default, the FIND command searches 2500 lines at a time. To change this value, modify the user profile FIND command line limit default value. See User Profile Screen for additional information.

Warning

Note

The FIND command searches to the end of the page on which the last line of the search is located. For example, if you change the FIND command line limit to 5000, executing the command actually searches more than 5000 lines, unless the 5000th line happens to be the last line on the page.

Executing FIND from the memory display

On the Memory Display screen, the FIND command locates hexadecimal or character data based on selection parameters you specify. If you execute FIND without parameters, the Find for Storage Display screen appears. This screen allows you to update FIND command defaults for use on the Memory Display. For more information about the Find for Storage Display screen, see Find for Storage Display Screen.

Finds the previous occurrence of the string.

FIRST

Finds the first occurrence of the string.

LAST

Finds the last occurrence of the string.

Example 1: F C'DFH'

Example 1 finds the character string DFH.

Example 2 finds the previous occurrence of the hexadecimal string D010. PREV overrides the default direction and updates the Find for Storage Display screen.

Executing FIND from screens other than the memory display

On screens other than the Memory Display, the FIND command locates specified data strings. (Not all screens support the FIND command.) If you execute FIND without specifying a data string, an error message appears.

Warning

Note

Because hexadecimal values are considered data strings on screens other than the Memory Display, enclosing the hexadecimal value with x' ' is not necessary.

LPRINT

Command Type: Primary

The LPRINT command prints a logical image of a screen to a sequential data set. Pressing the LPRINT PF key also executes this command. (PF23 is the default). A logical image includes all data associated with a screen, regardless of how much is currently displayed (contrasted to a physical image, which includes only the data currently displayed). A physical print is accomplished using the PRINT command.

When used without an optional parameter, LPRINT prints a logical image of the screen currently displayed. When used with an optional parameter, LPRINT prints a logical image of the screen specified by the parameter. Certain exceptions apply. A physical image of a screen is always printed, even if a logical print is requested, when the screen to be printed is one of the following:

  • A non-scrollable screen
  • A memory display screen
  • A storage disassembly screen.

These exceptions apply both to currently displayed screens and to those specified by a parameter.

Screens printed using the LPRINT command are written to a data set governed by the Print Options and Initiation screen. You may access this screen using the LIST fast-path command. The Print Options and Initiation screen controls various print options including the disposition of the data set. Printing is initiated using the GO command or by logging off. You must use this screen to print any data sets created using the LPRINT command. For more information about displaying print output options or the Print Options and Initiation screen, see Print Options and Initiation Screen.

For more information about using the LPRINT command, see Printing Abend-AID for CICS Information.
