Option R – Repository List

Option R, the Repository List, provides a logical view of all the Application modules defined in an organization. This powerful feature can display every module in every Application sorted by Type and Name. 

The RLIST command is used to display the ISPW component repository. All Components belonging to applications are recorded in the ISPW repository. The RLIST command (or its abbreviation RL) provides a convenient way to access and view the repository using natural component identifiers like Type, Name, and Application with wildcarded (*) generic specifications, as required.

The component identifiers can be specified upon entry to the repository list via parameters entered on the Command line.

Two examples of Repository List fast path invocation are:

• RL COB MA* PAYR—To view all COBOL types with names that start with MA in the PAYR application.
• RL * * HR—To view all components recorded for application HR.

If no parameters are entered with the RL command, they will be requested before the repository list function is invoked. The repository list function can also be invoked via option R from the initial ISPW menu, or via the command =R from anywhere within ISPW.

Invocation – Standard and Fast Path

To display the Repository List screen, enter R from the ISPW main menu or RL on any Command line within ISPW.

In the following example, a list of all the COB (COBOL) modules belonging to the PLAY Application is requested.

Fast Path Invocation

To bypass the screen above, enter RL <type> <name> <application>. Two examples are:

• RL COB ABC* XYZ
• RL * * PLAY

Repository List Displayed

When Enter is pressed in the preceding figure (Option R), 164 COB (COBOL) modules belonging to Application PLAY are displayed, as shown in the following figure.
