Displaying multiple views simultaneously

Use the following procedure to display multiple views simultaneously.

  1. On the COMMAND line, type viewName, where viewName is the name of the view that you want to display.
  2. On the COMMAND line, type HS (horizontal split); do not press Enter yet..
  3. Move the cursor to where you would like the top of the second view to appear (perhaps halfway down the current view).
  4. Press Enter.
    MainView for z/OS sets the CUR WIN field to 2.
  5. On the COMMAND line, type the name of another view.
  6. Press Enter.
    You now have two views on your screen. You can have as many as 20 views displayed simultaneously.
    When issuing a command with multiple views open, make sure that the number in the CUR WIN field reflects the number of the target view for that command.
    If you have multiple windows open, you can use a shortcut to specify multiple views and parameters at one time. Use the ISPF delimiter (usually a semicolon) as shown in the next example.

Example

Type the JOVER and JSTOR commands with these parameters:

W1.JOVER C*; W2.JSTOR DC*

The JOVER view for all jobs beginning with a C is displayed in window 1, and the JSTOR view for all jobs beginning with the prefix DC is displayed in window 2, as shown in following figure.

View parameters allow you to filter the data that is displayed in a view so that only the values that meet the selection criteria are shown. The commands W1.JOVER C* and W2.JSTOR DC* placed a filter on the Jobname column so that only those jobs beginning with a C or with the prefix DC are displayed.

The next section explains in greater detail how to use view parameters.
