Changes OS/390 Version 2 Release 10

SDSF adds the following new function for end users. Sysplex-Wide Panels SDSF adds sysplex support to the PR and INIT device panels and to its browse function. It is assumed that all systems in the sysplex are in the same MAS. With this support, the PR and INIT panels are enhanced to show all printers and initiators for all systems, regardless of which system the user is logged on to. Users are given the ability to control which systems are to be included in the panel, and a column is added to indicate which system the device is on. SDSFs browse function, which is used to browse a jobs output and to browse the syslog, is enhanced to include data from in-core buffers from any system. With this enhancement, browse always shows the most complete and current information, regardless of which system the user is logged on to. Filter WTORs on the Log Panels SDSF displays the outstanding WTORs for all systems after the last line of syslog data on the Log (Syslog and Operlog) display. SDSF adds the ability to limit the WTORs to one or more systems with the RSYS command. New Panel for System Requests SDSF adds a new tabular System Requests (SR) panel for outstanding system requests, which includes WTORs and action messages. With the new panel, users can easily find and respond to these messages. The panel has all the benefits of SDSF tabular panels, such as the ability to sort rows, arrange columns, filter rows, and so on. Mixed Case Column Titles For readability, the headings for all the columns in the variable field list of all panels are changed to use mixed case when they are displayed. To set it apart, the fixed field on each panel remains in uppercase. This support affects only the display of the default column headings. It does not change the behavior of commands that accept column headings as parameters, for example, ARRANGE or SORT. Note: Mixed-case column titles are not available if the language is set to Japanese. New Action Characters and Overtypes JES2 APAR OW38962 adds command support for changing a jobs or job classs scheduling environment. SDSF exploits this change by making the Scheduling-Env column on the I and ST panels overtypeable, and adding an overtypeable Scheduling-Env column to the JC panel. SDSF also adds new support for FSS on the PR panel, consisting of: v New columns, FSSName and FSSProc. The FSSName column is overtypeable. v A new K action character, which forces termination of the FSS. K is valid only for FSS printers.

Main Menu Reorganization The SDSF main menu is reorganized to group panels by type (job, device, system resource). The menu continues to include only those panels the user is authorized to display. This book includes terminology, maintenance, and editorial changes. Technical changes or additions to the text and illustrations are indicated by a vertical line to the left of the change.

Changes for OS/390 Release 5 SDSF

SDSF adds output descriptors to the OD and JDS panels.

Changes for OS/390 Release 4 SDSF

Scheduling Environment Panel A Scheduling Environment (SE) panel simplifies the new Workload Manager (WLM) support for scheduling environments. The panel shows the scheduling environments that have been defined along with their descriptions and a list of the systems on which they are available. For a selected scheduling environment, users can display the resource definitions, on the Resource panel, or all jobs requiring the scheduling environment, on the Status panel. Resource Panel A Resource (RES) panel compliments the Scheduling Environment panel. It can be used to show all WLM resources or the resources for a particular scheduling environment. Users can display and modify the state of each resource on each system. Job Information Pop-up A pop-up helps users see at a glance a variety of things that might be responsible for delaying the processing of their jobs, such as the job class being held or job class limit exceeded. It shows the scheduling environment required for the job and the average time a job is on that queue awaiting processing. Job Class Panel SDSF adds a panel to help system programmers and operators display and control job classes. The tabular format makes it easy to scan the information about each class, such as counts of jobs waiting and in hold status. Overtypes and action characters allow users to control the classes, eliminating the need for complex JES2 commands. High Return Code A new column on the H, O and ST panels shows information about the maximum return code for each job. This column allows users to quickly see if a job has run without errors.

Changes for OS/390 1.3.0

Security Assist Conversion tools help customers migrate SDSF security from SDSFs internal parameters, ISFPARMS, to RACF. Using RACF for security offers many advantages, including improved auditibility and granularity. The conversion tools take ISFPARMS as input and produce RACF commands that can be used or modified to provide equivalent security.

Punch Panel A Punch panel lets operators and system programmers display and control JES2 punches. With action characters, users can do such things as start, stop, halt, forward and backward space, and restart the punches. Overtypeable fields let users control the characteristics of the punches. Reader Panel A Reader panel lets operators and system programmers display and control JES2 readers. With action characters, they can do such things as start, stop and halt a reader. Overtypeable fields let users control the characteristics of the readers. Arrange column widths End users can change the widths of SDSF columns. This allows them to customize the columns to their specific needs, and make more efficient use of the space on SDSF panels. With this support, SDSF has nearly eliminated the need for system programmers to maintain field lists for SDSF panels in ISFPARMS. Overtype extension Users can overtype sets of related fields that could previously be modified only through system commands. In addition, users can extend the width of overtypeable columns through a pop-up. Users can exploit this along with the new support for defining column widths to make efficient use of SDSF tabular panels. Select date Users can select new alternate date formats. This allows SDSF users in all parts of the world to work with the most familiar date format. Default log End user and installation control is added to specify the default log. The default log (SYSLOG or OPERLOG) is displayed when the LOG command is entered with no parameters.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

Chapter 1. Introduction to SDSF

What Is SDSF?
The IBM System Display and Search Facility (SDSF), an optional feature of OS/390, provides you with information to monitor, manage, and control your MVS/JES2 system. With SDSF, you can: v v v v v v v Control job processing (hold, release, cancel, and purge jobs) Monitor jobs while they are running Browse jobs without printing Control job classes Control printers, punches, readers and initiators Control network lines and nodes Control spool offload devices

v Display and control WLM scheduling environments and resources v Issue JES2 and MVS commands that affect jobs SDSF panels provide current information about jobs, printers, queues, and resources in an OS/390 JES2 system. From these panels, you can enter SDSF commands or MVS and JES2 system commands to control the processing of jobs and the operation of system resources.

Benefits of Using SDSF

With SDSF you can better manage jobs, output, devices, and system resources.

Better Manage Jobs

SDSF provides an easy way to manage JES2 jobs, which can help you work more efficiently. It gives immediate, up-to-date, sysplex-wide information about jobs waiting to be processed or in execution, such as: v The status, class, priority, date and time of a specific job v All jobs on a specific queue, such as the input or held output queue v Detail for a job no matter where it is in the sysplex v Reasons a job might be delayed v Output from a job as it is created Using the SDSF panels, SDSF commands and action characters, and by overtyping panel fields, you can hold or release jobs, cancel jobs, filter the jobs displayed to show just the jobs that interest you, or change a jobs priority, class, or destination.

Better Manage Output

SDSF displays detailed information about output that is ready to be printed, including: v The total number of lines to be printed v Classes the output is assigned to v Forms needed for printing v Date the output was created v Maximum return code for the job SDSF allows you to control how and where your output is printed. You can browse the output, including page-mode output. You can print selected portions of the output, hold the output or purge it. You can change the outputs class, destination or
Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2000

forms, or set output descriptors to be printed on separator pages. You can work with all of the output for a job, or individual output data sets.

Control Devices
With SDSF you have a single interface to the most important devices on your system.

Control Local and Remote Printers and Punches

| | | | | | | | | The Printer panel lets you control local and remote printers in the MAS. SDSF displays the status for each printer (for example, active, inactive, halted, or drained), the output class associated with each printer, and information about the job currently being processed. Using this information, you can better decide how to schedule output for printing. By simply typing over certain fields, you can further select jobs and specify modes of printer operation. You can limit the number of local and remote printers that SDSF displays through filtering. SDSF makes it easy to schedule output for processing by remote printers. You can start, stop, halt, restart, interrupt, forward space, and backward space remote printers. The Punch panel provides similar function for local and remote punches; it displays data for all punches assigned to the system.

Control Initiators
| | | | SDSF displays the class and status of all initiators defined in the MAS, and the name and number of the job assigned to each initiator. Using this information, you can decide how to schedule jobs to make optimal use of the systems resources. With action characters, you can easily start and stop initiators.

Control Lines
SDSF shows the status of each NJE and RJE line, and its associated transmitters and receivers. With action characters, you can start, drain, and restart the devices. By typing over fields, you can change characteristics of the devices. SDSF also shows information about the job currently being processed by a transmitter or receiver, such as the number of lines that have been processed. This information allows you to quickly monitor activity. With filtering, you can limit the number of devices that SDSF displays.

Offload the Spool

A Spool Offload panel makes it easy to control the spool offload devices. SDSF displays the status of each offloader and its associated transmitters and receivers, and shows information about the jobs being processed. You can start, drain, and restart the devices. Simply typing over fields lets you set characteristics of the devices, and control the jobs that are selected.

Control Readers
A Reader panel lets you display and control JES2 readers. SDSF displays the status of each reader, and information about the job being processed by the reader. You can start, stop and halt a reader, and cancel a job being processed by a reader. By typing over fields, you can modify selection criteria and destination information.

Better Manage System Resources

SDSF provides an effective way of managing resources, which can help your system run more efficiently.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

Control and Manage Nodes

You can see the status of each node and modify its characteristics, such as what the node transmits and receives. With action characters, you can start node communication on a line, and display information about the network connections or paths for a node.

Reduce Problem Management Time

Problem management often involves reviewing a printed copy of the system log, a process that is tedious and time-consuming. SDSF lets you view the system log online and search for specific information using SDSF commands. You can also view and filter a merged sysplex-wide log.

Avoid Printing the System Log

With SDSF, you can view an up-to-date copy of the log online, and therefore, print the log less often. Individual users can have a private online log of their own activity.

Control and Manage a Multi-access Spool (MAS)

SDSF displays a full screen list of status for all the systems, simplifying your task of controlling and managing a MAS. You can start, restart, or stop a member, and change characteristics.

Control Job Classes

A Job Class panel lets you display and control job classes managed by JES2 and WLM. SDSF displays the status of each class, as well as information about the number of jobs active, held, and waiting in each class. You can modify the characteristics of a class, such as output disposition and whether jobs in the class are held. You can hold or release a job class, and display all the jobs in that class.

Control and Manage WLM Resources

A Scheduling Environment panel lets you see all the scheduling environments that are defined, their description, and the systems on which they are available. From this panel you can display all jobs requiring a scheduling environment. You can also display, on the Resource panel, the WLM resources that make up the scheduling environment. The Resource panel can also be made to show all the WLM resources that have been defined. You can use it to display and modify the state of each resource on each system in the MAS or sysplex.

Issue Commands Easily

You can enter MVS or JES2 commands from the SDSF command line or on a pop-up window. The response to the command is displayed on the SDSF panel, and in your user log (ULOG). The systems response to MVS/JES2 commands often fills the MVS system log. With the same information on full-screen panels, you can issue these commands less often and use less spool space. Also, problem management is simpler with fewer extraneous commands and responses.

Controlling User Access

You can tailor SDSF to meet the needs of your users and the security requirements of your system. For example, you can decide which columns of information on a panel are displayed to each user and what those columns are named. You also can control: v Who can use SDSF v Which users can issue SDSF control commands v Which users can issue MVS and JES2 system commands
Chapter 1. Introduction to SDSF

v For which jobs users can issue commands v Which jobs and output you want displayed on SDSF panels v Which users can display output data sets SDSF allows you to do all of these things v Through the System Authorization Facility (SAF) interface and an external security program (such as RACF). v By coding parameters in SDSFs internal parameters, ISFPARMS v With a combination of both security schemes v With installation exits SDSF provides a utility to assist you in converting from ISFPARMS security to RACF. See OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security about using the SAF interface, ISFPARMS, the conversion utility and the installation exit points. In addition, SDSF displays the terminal address of all TSO users who are logged on to the system, and it issues a write-to-operator message if someone who is not authorized to use SDSF tries to begin an SDSF session.

Figure 1. A Sample SDSF Tabular Panel 1 2 3 4 5 Action bar The action bar permits you to select a pull-down menu to accomplish various SDSF tasks. The browse panels that invoke ISPF edit do not have an action bar. The title line shows the panel name as well as status information. Information about the lines being displayed also appears here. Error messages appear here. The command line lets you enter SDSF, MVS, or JES2 commands. The SCROLL ===> PAGE controls the scrolling as described on page 11. Longer messages appear below the command line. The information lines display responses when you issue one of the SDSF set commands (such as set action or set display). You can change the color, highlighting, and intensity for the information lines with the SET SCREEN command and the Set Screen Characteristics pop-up.
Chapter 2. Using SDSF

Title line Message area Command line Message and information lines

Data area

The data area contains the information that is displayed on the panel. On tabular panels, the data is in columns and rows. Each row represents a single job, TSO user, task, data set, resource, or other system entity. Column headings describe the information in the columns. The column headings are different for each panel, and may vary with your environment, such as JES2 level. They may be tailored by the system programmer. The first column is a fixed field; when you scroll right or left, it remains in the same position. In the sample panel, the JOBNAME field is fixed. The columns on the OD panel are arranged vertically rather than horizontally. Scaling (Use of T, M, B): If a column is not wide enough to display all the digits of a number supplied by MVS or JES2, SDSF scales the number. It divides the number by one thousand, one million, or one billion and then truncates the least significant digits so that the quantity fits in the available space. Truncation: If a column on a panel is not wide enough to display all the characters of a string supplied by MVS or JES2, the rightmost characters of the string are truncated. Refreshing Data: Press Enter whenever you want to refresh the data on the panel.

See the online help for specific information about the content of each panel.

Using the SDSF Windows

SDSF gives you a choice of how to enter SDSF commands. You can type them on the command input line or you can use the action bar and related pull-down menus and pop-up windows. The action bar is especially helpful for learning new functions, or for new or occasional users. The action bar is optional. You can control the display of it with the Set Screen Characteristics pop-up. Your system programmer can set the display on and off for groups of users with ISFPARMS. The pull-down menus from the action bar are: Display Lets you select an SDSF panel. If you are not authorized for a particular panel, youll see an * preceding it. Filter View Print Lets you define filter criteria, such as owner, prefix, or destination. Pop-up windows let you select fields and columns. Lets you control your view of the data (by sorting, arranging, setting hex on/off, changing the field list to the alternate one). Lets you print data (open, print, and close data sets) and screens.

Options Lets you set global options such as a search limit, setting SYSIN, default bookshelf for BookManager, screen characteristics, delay time, console name, search characters, display PF keys, change the settings or language.

Using BookManager
ISPF users can view online documentation directly from within SDSF, using BookManager.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

BookManager lets you organize online books on bookshelves, perhaps sorted by subject. You can set one bookshelf that you use most often as your default bookshelf. For SDSF, you must set up a default bookshelf if you want to search directly for a topic. You can do this with either the SET SHELF command or the Options pulldown. See the BOOK command on page 42, SET SHELF command (page 105), or IBM BookManager READ/MVS: Displaying Online Books, SC38-2034 for more details. To set a default bookshelf from within SDSF, use set shelf or the associated choice in the Options pull-down. To open a bookshelf, use book or the Book choice of the Help pull-down, which displays a pop-up that lets you enter a search string before opening the bookshelf.

Locating Information on SDSF Panels

Because SDSF displays more information than you can see on one screen, you can scroll the SDSF panels up, down, left and right. You can also locate specific information. Scroll with commands or PF keys, using these amounts: HALF Scroll half a screen PAGE Scroll a full screen MAX CSR Scroll the maximum distance Scroll to the cursor position

DATA Scroll a full screen minus one line

FINDLIM Set the number of lines searched LOCATE Locate a line by number or column by title UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT Scroll in a specific direction TOP, BOTTOM Scroll to the first or last line NEXT, PREV Scroll output data to the next dataset, or the Operlog to the next unit of time

Changing Values with Overtypeable Fields

You can overtype some fields on the tabular panels to change their values. By default, overtypeable fields are green or red on the SDSF panels. You can find information about valid values in the online help. To extend the width of the overtypeable field, or to overtype a set of related fields in a pop-up, type + by itself in the field. For example, to overtype multiple SFORMS, type a + in the SFORMS column to display this pop-up:
Overtype Extension Column SFORMS Maximum length 8 Type values or use blanks to erase values. ===> STD ===> NAR ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> F1=Help F12=Cancel

You can restore the value in a column if you overtyped it but did not press Enter by typing reset on the command line. To keep the cursor on the row you overtyped, type set cursor on on the command line.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

Issuing Commands with Action Characters

Action characters are short commands, usually a one or two characters, that you type in the NP column. Use them to take actions against specific objects (jobs, initiators, printers, and so on). See the online help for details about the action characters for each panel. To display valid action characters with a description, type set action on the command line. To display just a list of action characters, type set action short.

To keep the cursor on the row you entered the action character against, type set cursor on on the command line.

Repeating Action Characters or Overtyped Commands

On tabular displays, you can avoid retyping action characters or overtypeable field values with the SDSF repeat and block action characters (= and //). Repeat (=) Repeats a previous action. Use to repeat a previous action character or overtype without having to retype the data. Type = on a row in the NP column on a tabular display to indicate the repeat.

Customizing Your SDSF Panels

Under ISPF, you can set the color, highlighting, or intensity on portions of the panels to suit your working environment. The colors on tabular panels indicate whether the object represented by the row (job, printer, and so on) is active and the field is overtypeable. The default colors are: Blue Not active, not overtypeable

White Active, not overtypeable Green Not active, overtypeable Red Active, overtypeable

In addition to setting these colors, you can rearrange the columns on tabular panels (see Arrange Columns on Tabular Displays on page 15) and turn the action bar on or off. The system programmer can further customize panels using SDSF initialization parameters. Type set screen or select Options from the action bar and then select Set screen characteristics...

Issuing MVS or JES2 Commands from the Command Line or Pop-Up

You can issue MVS and JES2 commands from the SDSF command line, or from a pop-up. You can see the response on the information lines of the panel you are on. The complete set of responses is displayed in the ULOG. If the MVS or JES2 command contains the ISPF end-of-line character as part of the command, SDSF processes the command only up to the EOL character.
Chapter 2. Using SDSF

To issue a short MVS or JES2 command, type a slash (/) followed by the command on the command line. For example, you would type /d a,l To issue a longer command, type a slash by itself on the command line to display a pop-up. Then type the command on the pop-up.

Messages issued within the delay interval are displayed on the message lines of the panel you are on. The delay interval is the maximum amount of time SDSF will wait for messages before displaying them on the message lines. To change the delay interval, type set delay followed by a number of seconds. The default is 1 second. A delay of 0 (i.e. set delay 0) specifies that messages issued in response to / commands should not be displayed on the message lines. | | If you need to issue command parameters in lowercase, use the pop-up under ISPF and enclose the command parameters in single quotation marks. For more information, see / Issue MVS and JES2 Commands on page 36.

SDSF EDIT HOLDE (JOB00017) JCLEDIT Columns 00001 00072 Command ===> Scroll ===> PAGE ****** ***************************** Top of Data *********************** 000001 //HOLDE JOB CLASS=E,MSGCLASS=E 000005 //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBDG 000006 //OUTA DD SYSOUT=E,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=800) 000007 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=E 000008 //SYSIN DD *

With ISPF browse or edit, you can also view the double-byte character set (DBCS) sysout data. To display DBCS data, use a device that supports it and set your terminal type through ISPF Option 0 to the appropriate device.

Printing from SDSF Panels

With SDSF, you can print: v Output data v Data from the log panels v Screen images of SDSF panels The print output goes to SYSOUT, to a data set, or a print file (specified with a ddname). You can print with default attributes and to a default data set with either the Print command or the X action character. If you want more control, you can follow these steps: OPEN Open a print data set to receive the printed output and define it, using commands or optional SDSF open print panels to specify print data set values. Once you have opened a data set, you can keep printing to it until you close it. PRINT Print the data. CLOSE Close the print data set.
Chapter 2. Using SDSF

Through SDSF, you can print these ways: 1. Type action characters in the NP column on tabular panels (page 22). 2. Type SDSF commands on the command line (page 23). 3. Select the Print pull-down from the action bar. Choose options from the pop-up (page 23).

Fast Path Printing

With a few keystrokes, you can print all of a jobs output to sysout with default characteristics. You can either: v Type the xc action character in the NP column next to the job. v Browse the job with the s action character, then type print on the command line and press Enter.

Print Using Action Characters

The X action character is the easiest way to print with SDSF. The X action character accepts several parameters; some of those display panels for opening the print data set and specifying attributes. For example:
SDSF OUTPUT ALL CLASSES ALL FORMS LINES 499 LINE 1-2 (18) COMMAND INPUT ===> NP JOBNAME JOBID OWNER PRTY C FORMS FCB DEST TCAS STC00007 IBMUSER 144 A STD **** LOCAL XS CLRMANB STC00009 ++++++++ 144 A STD **** LOCAL

Pull-Down Selection Select 5. Print close...

Using Split-Screen Mode

Under ISPF, you can operate in split-screen mode to have multiple logical sessions. The active panel is controlled by the location of the cursor. See the appropriate ISPF documents for more information. The SDSF trace facility works only with one screen while you are operating in split-screen mode. If you are using the user log to record all your commands and want to start a second SDSF session, you need to assign a different name for a user log on one of the sessions. Type SET CONSOLE console-name, where console-name is a name other than your user ID (see page 96).

Permitting Other Users to View Your Jobs

The SAF security interface allows you to permit others to view your jobs or you to view others jobs. Consult your security administrator or use the set of Resource Access Control Facility (RACF*) commands that allow USER1 to browse USER2s output described in the process for authorizing others. For information about using SAF, see OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security. For more information on the commands used to permit users, see OS/390 SecureWay Security Server RACF Command Language Reference . An easy way to allow another user to view a particular job is to overtype the DEST field for the job with the other persons user ID on either the O or H panels. The long-term and general way to allow another user to view your jobs is to: 1. See your security administrator to activate the JESSPOOL class and GENERICOWNER processing. 2. Define the profile, where N1 is the node: RDEFINE JESSPOOL N1.your_userid.*.*.D*.* 3. Permit someone else to your output: PERMIT N1.your_userid.*.*.D*.* CLASS(JESSPOOL) ID(other_userid) ACCESS(READ)

Specifying a Language
You can select the language to be used for the help and tutorial panels when running SDSF under ISPF. To use Japanese, type set lang jpn. (The Japanese language feature must have been installed.) To use English if the language has been set to Japanese, type set lang eng.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

Specifying a Date Format

You can choose the format for dates displayed on SDSF panels and entered as input (with print, locate, and filter). The date format can be month day year, day month year, or year month day. The separator between month, day, and year can be slash (/), dash (-), or period (.). For example, to set the date format to year-month-day, type
SET DATE YYYY MM DD -

Using SDSF in Batch

Using batch processing, you can issue often-repeated SDSF commands for SDSF to process serially by creating a list of the commands as control statements. In the list, you specify the SDSF panel you wish to use and the operation you wish to perform on it.

Invoking SDSF in Batch

Invoke SDSF on an EXEC statement with one of two program names: v SDSF, which supports commands and action characters. v ISFAFD, which supports commands, action characters, and overtyping of fields on tabular and other panels, such as the print panels. Follow the EXEC statement with an ISFIN DD for batch input, and an ISFOUT DD for the batch output. For example, a batch job to invoke program name ISFAFD might use these statements:
// EXEC PGM=ISFAFD //ISFOUT DD SYSOUT=* //ISFIN DD *

To change screen width and depth of the batch output, use PARM='++xxxx,yyyy', following the program name, where xxxx is the depth of the screen (number of lines) and yyyy is the width (number of characters). For example, to set the depth to 32 and the width to 1000, use:
// EXEC PGM=SDSF,PARM='++32,1000' //ISFOUT DD SYSOUT=* //ISFIN DD *

If you do not use the PARM statement, the width defaults to 132 and the depth to 60. The maximum for width and depth is 9999. You can change the name of the SDSF server when invoking SDSF in batch. In the following example, the server name is SDSFT.
// EXEC PGM=SDSF,PARM='SERVER(SDSFT)'

If you add the server name when invoking SDSF in batch, you cannot combine it with changes to the dimensions of the screen. A return code of 0016 when SDSF is invoked in batch indicates that the user could not be placed in any of the groups defined with ISFPARMS. See OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security for a description of ISFPARMS.

Chapter 2. Using SDSF

Using Program Name SDSF

SDSF Panels and Commands
H ++ALL

To access a panel and display its contents, use the panel command and ++ALL. For example, to select the H panel and display its contents, use:

When ++ALL is specified, anything else on the card is ignored. To move around on the panel, you can use scroll commands (RIGHT, LEFT, UP, DOWN, TOP, BOTTOM). Use any SDSF command as you would enter it on the command line, following the syntax described in Chapter 3. SDSF Commands on page 33. The command line is 42 characters long.

Action Characters

To use an action character, code ++action-character in your batch job. To prevent a confirmation pop-up from being displayed for destructive action characters, use the SET CONFIRM OFF command. You must do a successful FIND prior to issuing an action character. This protects you from issuing an action character against the wrong row. To allow for an unsuccessful FIND, you should follow each action character with a RESET command, which clears pending action characters. For example, to find job jobxyz on the O panel, browse it with the S action character and issue a RESET in case the job is not found, you would use:
O FIND 'jobxyz' ++S RESET

Using Program Name ISFAFD

When you invoke SDSF with program name ISFAFD, it works the same as when you invoke it with program name SDSF, with these differences: v Action characters do not require a successful FIND v Overtypes and PF keys are supported v You must explicitly request a panel to be updated. You do this with the AFD REFRESH command. v Attribute bytes (used to define characteristics of fields such as color and conditioning for input) are present on the SDSF panels. These attribute bytes are translated out when you invoke SDSF with program name SDSF.

Commands
With program name ISFAFD, you can use the SDSF commands as you would with program name SDSF. You can also use the AFD command, which is described on page 26. AFD Command: Use the AFD command when running SDSF in batch mode with program name ISFAFD. Format

LOGSTAMP controls the addition of a log stamp prefix for each record in the OPERLOG or SYSLOG when printing the log with SDSFs PRINT function. The logstamp is added only when printing to a ddname (for example, PRINT FILE). LOGSTAMP ON causes the log stamp prefix to be added; LOGSTAMP OFF causes the log stamp prefix to not be added. The log stamp of the OPERLOG is a 32-byte prefix. It is described in Table 2.
Table 2. Contents of the Log Stamp Word Words 1-2 Words 3-4 Word 5 SYSLOG First time in block Job key and data set key Relative record number within data set OPERLOG Local TOD value returned by IXGBRWSE Block ID returned by IXGBRWSE Relative record number within block

LOCATE BLK block-id scrolls the OPERLOG to the first record in the log block identified by block-id. block-id is 16 hexadecimal digits. LOCATE TOD time-of-day scrolls the OPERLOG to the first record for the time of day identified by time-of-day. time-of-day is 16 hexadecimal digits. QUERY DS displays information about the current data set or log on the message line. The information includes record count, record length, and carriage control. For SYSLOG and OPERLOG, the information also includes the length of the logstamp. (The record count is not displayed for the SYSLOG or OPERLOG panel. In cases where the record length is not available to SDSF, SDSF uses the maximum record length for the job plus 1, or if that is unknown, the screen width plus 1.) This command is valid only on browse panels. QUERY CODEPAGE displays the code page that is in use on the message line. If the installation has defined its own code page in ISFPARMS, rather than naming one in the ISFTR macro or TRTAB statement, the code page value is displayed as N/A. QUERY COLUMNS displays information about the columns on the current tabular panel, using the message lines. The format is as follows: v Overtypeable columns: title=(O,length) v Overtypeable columns with related columns: title=(O,length, number-of-values) v Non-overtypeable columns: title=(N) REFRESH requests that SDSF refresh the current display. WTOR controls the display of WTORs at the bottom of the Log panel. WTOR ON turns on the display of WTORs on the Log panel. SDSF shows those WTORs defined for the user by the ACTION command or the ACTION parameter of ISFPARMS. WTOR OFF turns off the display of WTORs on the Log panel. NP controls the width of the NP column. NP LONG sets the NP column on all tabular panels to the extended width, which is 10 characters on the PR display and the PUN display, and 5 characters on all other displays.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

NP SHORT sets the NP column to the standard width. .END assigns a label, .END, to the current top line of the SYSLOG or OPERLOG. .END overrides the ending line value when printing the SYSLOG or OPERLOG with the PRINT command. Use the DELETE keyword to delete a previously assigned label. Note to Users: You can also temporarily extend the NP column on a single tabular panel by typing a + in the NP column. Then, to reset the NP column, use the RESET command. Examples v AFD WTOR OFF This command turns off the display of WTORs at the bottom of the Log panel. v AFD QUERY DS Entered when the current panel is the SYSLOG, this command displays information about the SYSLOG on the message line, as follows:

v AFD .END This command assigns the label .END to the current top line of the SYSLOG or OPERLOG. To use this label with PRINT, you could then: 1. Scroll the log so that the current top line is the line with which you want to begin printing. 2. Issue PRINT * 99999999

Chapter 2. Using SDSF

SDSF would then print from the current top line to the line that was previously marked with .END. With program name ISFAFD, you can use selected PF keys by coding ++AFD PFxx, where xx is the 2-digit PF key number. For example, to perform a repeat-find, you would code:
++AFD PF05

PF Keys

The PF keys you can use are:

Key PF03 PF05 Function End the current panel Repeat the previous FIND

Action Characters
The syntax for action characters is the same as for program name SDSF: see Action Characters on page 26. However, because a successful FIND is not required, the action character will always be issued against the top row on the panel. To avoid issuing action characters against the wrong row, you might want to first set filters to be sure that only the appropriate row or rows is displayed.

Overtypeable Fields
You can overtype columns on tabular panels and on other SDSF panels, such as panels for printing. Overtyping Columns on Tabular Panels: You can overtype columns on any tabular panel except OD. The syntax for overtyping columns on tabular panels is the column title followed by = and the new value, all within <>. Enclose the column title and value in single quotation marks. For example, on the O display, to change the forms for job JFROSTA to STD, change the destination to KGNVMC.JFROST, and refresh the screen, you would use:
O FIND 'JFROSTA' ++<'FORM'='STD'><'DEST'='KGNVMC.JFROST'> AFD REFRESH

You can abbreviate column titles to the shortest title that is unique for the display. If you want the overtypes to be continued on the next card, use a trailing comma. Where it is valid when using SDSF interactively, you can combine an action character and overtypes; the action character must precede the overtypes. For example, on the H display, to release job SMOSES with the O action character, change the class to A, and refresh the screen, you would use:
H FIND 'SMOSES' ++O<'C'='A'> AFD REFRESH

Although you cannot overtype output descriptors on the OD panel, you can overtype most of them on the JDS panel. The JDS panel supports only the first value for output descriptors with multiple values (such as ADDRESS and NOTIFY). To modify the other values for these fields, overtype the first value with a +, then specify the values on the Overtype Extension pop-up. To erase an output descriptor on the JDS panel, type a comma (,) in the field.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

Overtyping Fields on Other Panels: You can overtype fields on any other panels that do not require ISPF, such as the print panels, the system command extension pop-up, and the Overtype Extension pop-up. The syntax for providing values on other types of SDSF panels is similar to the syntax for overtyping fields on tabular panels, except that no column name is used, only =value, within <>. The values are positional; in other words, the first value supplied goes into the first field on the panel, the second value supplied goes into the second field on the panel, and so on. On panels with a command line (for example, the print panels), the command line is not counted as an input field. Use ++AFD END or ++AFD PF03 to end processing of the panel. For example, on the Open Print panel, to specify H as the class and 3 as the number of copies (the first and second fields) you would use:
PRINT S ++<='H'><='3'> ++AFD PF03

To skip a field on the panel, specify < > with no enclosed text. For example, on the Open Print panel, to specify H as the class and STD as the forms (the first and third fields), you would use:
PRINT S ++<='H'>< ><='STD'> ++AFD PF03

To blank a field, specify <= > (a blank enclosed in single quotation marks). When entering a data set name on the Open Print Data Set panel, enclose it in three sets of single quotes to indicate that it is a fully qualified name. Enclose the data set name in one set of single quotes if you want the TSO prefix to be added.

Notes on Using Program Name ISFAFD

v You can use a trailing comma as a continuation character, so that you can continue overtypes across several cards. The continuation character is required when overtypes that must be processed together (for example, values on a print panel) are specified on multiple cards. To enter a data set name, member name, and disposition on the Open Print Data Set panel, you could use:
PRINT D ++<='droyek.sdsfdata.december'>, <='report'>, <='old'> ++AFD PF03

v You can include comments, enclosed in /* */, or blank lines; they will be ignored when the input is processed. v To avoid an error message (AFD CURSOR row,column) set SET CURSOR to OFF, so that the cursor always returns to the command line.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

This chapter presents the SDSF commands in alphabetical order. You must be authorized to use some of these commands. The chapter does not describe MVS or JES2 commands. For descriptions of MVS and JES2 commands see the appropriate manuals.

Format Notation
The description of each SDSF command includes the format of the command in a syntax diagram. The diagram shows the operands for the command. Use blanks to separate the operands, unless otherwise stated. To construct a command from the diagram, follow the diagram from left to right, choosing the path that suits your needs. Figure 6 shows a sample syntax diagram and explains how to use it to construct a command. This command is for illustration only. Do not attempt to enter it.
(1) (2) (3) ALL SOME NONE , (4) jnum (5) (6)

ASAMPLE A

Notes: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Start here. Choose either ASAMPLE or A.

E Q

Choose one of the options. The default is always above the main line. In this case, ALL is the default. Choose E, Q, or neither. Repeat jnum any number of times, following each with a comma. Variables are always in italics. End here. COMMAND INPUT ===> asample some q 10

Examples:

Figure 6. Sample Syntax Diagram for an SDSF Command

Pattern Matching
Some commands let you issue a character string as a parameter. You can substitute a character in the string with special characters, called pattern matching or wild card characters.

Substituting Multiple Characters

An asterisk (*) can represent any string of characters. As many asterisks as are required can appear anywhere in the string. For example, T*E*S represents both T4EDS and TDCE0MVS.

Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2000

Substituting a Single Character

A percent sign (%) represents any single character. You can use as many percent signs as you want anywhere in the string. For example, T%DE%%%S represents either T0DE010S or TADE003S. * and % are the defaults and can be changed by your system programmer in ISFPARMS.

Displaying Values With ?

Some commands let you display the current value or setting by typing ? on the command line. Under ISPF, you may see the current value in a pop-up window or on the information line. Under TSO, you see the value on the command line or on the information line. Your system programmer can change the ? character to something else.

Specifying a Column Name

Specify column names using these rules: v Use the heading exactly as it appears on the panel. v You can shorten the column heading to a name that is unique on the panel. For example, if a defined column heading (such as C) is itself shorter than an abbreviation of another column heading on the panel (such as CR), then you can use C because SDSF recognizes it as a heading defined for the panel. On the other hand, if a panel has headings such as CRDATE and CDUMP, but not C, then you cannot use C because it can stand for either CRDATE or CDUMP. v If the column heading contains embedded blanks, either shorten it so that the blanks are not included or enclose the entire heading in quotes (for example 'xxx xxxx'). Be sure all single quotes are balanced (that is, use an even number of them). v You can enter text in upper and lower case; however SDSF translates it to uppercase. SDSF does not distinguish between duplicate column names that vary only by case.

Entering Times and Dates

In general, use the same format for time and date as shown on the SDSF panel. The valid formats for times and dates are: Time Date hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy

SDSF converts 2-digit years to 4-digit years by prefixing them with with the first 2 digits of the current year. Note that when you enter a year with periods as separators, you must enter a 4-digit year. This allows SDSF to distinguish a year from a time. With date/time fields, the time is optional and defaults to all 0s. For information on specifying the date format, see SET DATE Date Format on page 98.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

? Use the Alternate Form of a Panel

Use the ? command to display the alternate form of a tabular panel when entered on a tabular panel. When installing SDSF, the system programmer defines a primary and an alternate form for each SDSF panel. The primary form is displayed upon entry to the panel and typically contains data that can be obtained immediately. The alternate form is displayed by use of the ? command and typically contains data that is deferred. When you access a panel, SDSF always displays the primary form of the panel. You can switch back and forth between primary and alternate forms with the ? command. You can have to scroll right to display the alternate fields. Type ? on the command line or set the toggle on or off using Change field list to ... from the View pull-down.

Format
?

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> ? If entered on a tabular panel, SDSF displays either the alternate form of that panel or, when the alternate is already being displayed, the primary form.

? Display SYSOUT Attributes

Use the ? command to display the attributes of a SYSOUT data set currently being displayed. The attributes are shown on the message line. To remove the attributes, press Enter. Type ? on the command line of the ODS panel.

Format
?

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> ? On an ODS panel, this shows the attributes of the data set.

/ Issue MVS and JES2 Commands

Use the / command to issue any MVS or JES2 system command from the SDSF command line or to display a pop-up to enter long MVS or JES2 commands. Type / on the command line any SDSF panel (except the help and tutorial panels).

Format
M I / command +

M indicates the Master console for MVS commands or an internal console ID of 0 for JES2 commands will be used when issuing the command. I indicates the Internal console ID of 0 will be used when issuing the command.

with no command displays a primed pop-up with the last / command you entered. command is any valid MVS or JES2 command. + displays the system command extension pop-up, which allows you to enter longer system commands. If you have already entered some command text on the command line, it appears on the pop-up and you can continue typing the command.

Notes to Users
1. To use the / command, you must be authorized to issue the MVS and JES2 command that you type after the /. In a non-SAF environment, you must have the correct command level. In a SAF environment, SDSF does not check the command text entered with the / command. 2. To see a response to the command, you must have access to the ULOG panel and be authorized to use an extended console. You can see: v No response, if the current delay response time (set with the SET DELAY command) is 0 or if the response arrives after the specified timeout. v One-line responses; if they are wider than the screen width, they wrap onto a second line. v Multi-line responses; if there is more text than can fit onto one screen, you see a trailing + sign. You cannot scroll forward to see the rest of the response, but can view it on the ULOG panel. v A subset of responses; if there are multiple messages issued, you may not see all of them. The number of messages displayed may vary. All the messages will appear on the ULOG panel. 3. When issuing commands, SDSF uses either the

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

/
v Extended console ID (or migration ID) if it is active v Master console for MVS commands or console ID of 0 for JES2 commands v Console ID of zero You can override these if you use the M and I parameters. 4. To cancel the system command extension pop-up without issuing any command typed there: v Under ISPF, press PF3 or PF12 (Cancel). v Under TSO, press PF3 (End). 5. In batch, a / followed with no command or a + is invalid. 6. Commands are converted to uppercase. With the system command extension pop-up under ISPF, you can preserve the case of command parameters by enclosing them in single quotation marks.

& Reissue a Command

Use the & command with a time interval by itself or after any SDSF command to reissue the command at the given time interval. This can be useful when you want to periodically update a panel or to periodically scroll to the bottom of the log panel to see the most recent information.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

&
Type & on the command line with a time interval, and with or without an accompanying SDSF command.

Format
&seconds command&seconds

command is any valid SDSF command. Do not follow it with a blank and do not use a blank to separate command and &second. seconds is a 13-digit number specifying the time interval in seconds.

Notes to Users
1. The system programmer can set the minimum time interval at installation time. 2. You can cancel the effect of the & command at any time by pressing the RESET key followed by the PA1 key. If you are using a SNA terminal, you must press the ATTN key to end the automatic update. 3. If you enter & plus the time interval without a command, SDSF updates the current panel periodically at the given time interval. If you enter & plus a command (like RETRIEVE), instead of seeing any input back from the command you see **** AUTO UPDATE - n seconds **** on the command line. 4. You cannot use the & command on the Set Screen panel.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> da ojob&10 This command causes the DA panel (showing only jobs) to be refreshed every 10 seconds. v COMMAND INPUT ===> &5 This command causes the current SDSF panel to be refreshed every 5 seconds. v COMMAND INPUT ===> bot&3 When issued on the SYSLOG panel, this command causes the SYSLOG to be refreshed every 3 seconds. On other displays, the panel is not refreshed.

ABEND Abend SDSF

Use the ABEND command to cause SDSF to abend with a user 222 abend code. The system writes a dump if SYSABEND, SYSMDUMP, or SYSUDUMP data sets have been allocated. SDSF takes an SDUMP to the SYS1.DUMPxxx data sets. If you allocated an SDSF dump data set, SDSF additionally writes a SNAP dump to the SDSFDUMP data set. The ABEND command can be useful in documenting a problem with SDSF. Type ABEND on the command line.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

ABEND

Format
ABEND

Note to Users
The authority to issue the ABEND command can be limited to specific users by the system programmer.

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> abend This command causes SDSF to abend with a user 222 abend code. If a dump data set has been allocated, you can then press Enter to get a dump.

ACTION Control Display of WTOR Messages

Use the ACTION command to control which write-to-operator-with-reply (WTOR) messages are displayed at the bottom of the logs. Type ACTION on the command line.

Format
ACTION OFF ALL routing-code-list ?

OFF displays no WTOR messages. This is the default. ALL displays all WTORs for all routing codes. routing-code-list is a list made up of one or more of the following: routing-code is one to four numeric routing codes. The possible numeric routing codes are 1 through 28. Messages with the specified routing codes are added to the list of messages that are displayed. USER enables the routing codes reserved for customer use. MVS enables the routing codes used by MVS (1-12). The effects of multiple ACTION commands are cumulative. The various MVS routing codes and their meanings can be found in the appropriate manual. ? displays the current setting for ACTION.
Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

ACTION

Notes to Users
1. You can use up to four parameters. The routing-code-list, MVS, and USER parameters can be combined. The effects are cumulative. 2. ACTION ALL and ACTION OFF are mutually exclusive with other forms of the ACTION command. 3. ACTION commands are cumulative within a session. 4. The authority to issue the ACTION command can be limited to specific users by the system programmer.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> action This command nullifies the list of routing codes. No WTOR messages are displayed at the bottom of the log panel. v COMMAND INPUT ===> action all When this command is in effect, all WTOR messages are displayed at the bottom of the log panel. v COMMAND INPUT ===> action 1 4 5 This command adds WTORs with routing codes of 1, 4, and 5 to the list of WTOR messages to be displayed at the bottom of the log panel. v COMMAND INPUT ===> action mvs COMMAND INPUT ===> action 13 14 15 This series of commands adds all WTORs with MVS routing codes of 112 and 13, 14, and 15 to the list of messages at the bottom of the log panel. v COMMAND INPUT ===> action user 1 2 3 This command adds WTORs with the routing codes reserved for customer use and routing codes 1, 2, and 3 to the list of messages to be displayed at the bottom of the log panel. v COMMAND INPUT ===> action ?

APPC Control Display of APPC Transactions

Use APPC to control the display of advanced program-to-program communication (APPC) transactions on the H and O panels. Type APPC on the command line of any SDSF panel or toggle it on or off with the Filter pull-down. It affects only the H and O panels.

Format
APPC ON OFF ?

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

APPC
with no parameters displays APPC transactions on the H and O panels. ON displays APPC transactions on the H and O panels. This is the default. OFF ends the display of APPC transactions on the H and O panels. ? displays the current setting for APPC on the command line.

Note to Users
You can improve SDSF performance by displaying APPC transactions only when you need to see them.

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> appc off This command prevents the display of the APPC transactions on the H and O panels.

ARRANGE Reorder Columns on Tabular Panels

Use the ARRANGE command to reorder the columns on tabular panels and to change the widths of the columns. Type ARRANGE on the command line or use the View pull-down.

Format
ARRANGE ARR from-column A B width FIRST LAST to-column

DEFAULT ?

from-column, to-column are the names of columns on the SDSF panel. For tabular panels, see Specifying a Column Name on page 34 for the rules on specifying a column name. A B | | move from-column after to-column move from-column before to-column

width sets the width of column from-column; width is a number from 1 to 127. FIRST makes the column from-column the first column after the fixed field. LAST makes the column from-column the last column (furthest to the right).

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

ARRANGE
DEFAULT reset the column arrangement and widths to the default. ? under ISPF, this displays the Arrange pop-up. (See Arrange Columns on Tabular Displays on page 15 for an example.)

Notes to Users
1. Arrange works on the current field list (primary or alternate). 2. You cannot move a fixed field, and you cannot put anything before the fixed field. 3. If you set the column width to shorter than the column title, the title is truncated on the panel. However, the column continues to be known to SDSF by the full title. SDSF functions that use column titles (SORT, FILTER, and LOCATE) will still accept the full title or any unique abbreviation of the column title. In some cases, to enter a unique column title on an SDSF command, you may need to type more than is displayed for the column title. You can display full column titles on the Arrange pop-up. 4. If you set the column width to shorter than the data, numeric data is scaled if possible and displayed as asterisks otherwise. Character data is truncated. 5. To view the full width of an overtypeable column, type a + in the column. A pop-up is displayed for that column and row.

Example
v COMMAND INPUT ===> arrange pgn a dp This command moves the PGN column after the DP column. v COMMAND INPUT ===> arrange dest 8 This command makes the DEST column 8 characters long.

BOOK Use BookManager for Online Documentation

Use the BOOK command to invoke the BookManager READ/MVS product to display or search online books. Type BOOK on the command line or select it from the Help pull-down.

Format
BOOK search-string

with no parameters invokes BookManager to allow you to select a bookshelf and open a book. search-string indicates an optional string to be used as a search argument when the default bookshelf is opened. Enclose the search-string in quotes if it contains blanks or special characters. Case does not matter; SDSF converts all input entered on the command line to upper case.

Notes to Users
1. The BOOK command is valid only when SDSF is running as an ISPF dialog.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

BOOK
2. If you enter the BOOK command without a parameter, SDSF can provide a default search-string determined by the cursor position. v If the cursor is anywhere below the command line, the search-string is the word under which the cursor is placed. The cursor must be under an alphabetic or numeric character and the string preceded and followed by a non-alphabetic or non-numeric character (such as a blank or punctuation). BookManager limits the length of the search-string to 44 characters. If the word is longer than 44 characters, SDSF uses the maximum number of characters prior to the cursor to build the string. v When the cursor is in the message area, SDSF uses the entire message text as the search-string. 3. When you invoke BookManager, expect some delay.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> book This command invokes BookManager but does not provide a search-string. v COMMAND INPUT ===> book isf002i This command invokes BookManager and searches the default bookshelf for the string ISF002I.
SDSF OUTPUT ALL CLASSES ALL FORMS COMMAND INPUT ===> BOOK LINES 123 INVALID VALUE SCROLL ===> PAGE

The cursor is under the message INVALID VALUE when the BOOK command is entered. This command invokes BookManager using INVALID VALUE as the search-string.

RESET cancels the result of a COLS command (page 89).

DA Display Active Users

Use the DA command to view jobs running on any system in a sysplex. You can list the active users and display information about MVS address spaces for jobs, started tasks, initiators, or TSO users on the DA panel. When RMF is installed, SDSF uses it as the source of data for the panel. The DA command accepts parameters to limit the address spaces that are displayed according to type and position (location). The parameters control the type (jobs, started tasks, TSO users, or initiators) and position (swapped in, swapped out, in transition, or ready) of address spaces that are displayed. Type DA on the command line or select it from the Display pull-down. You can follow the DA command with as many as four parameters.

Format

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

DA
OTRANS displays only positions in transition. OREADY displays only positions that are ready. NOJOB displays no jobs. NOTSU displays no TSO users. NOSTC displays no started tasks. NOINIT displays no initiators. NOIN displays no swapped-in positions, unless they are in the ready state. NOOUT displays no swapped-out positions, unless they are in the ready state. NOTRANS displays no positions in transition, unless they are in the ready state. NOREADY displays no positions that are ready. ALLT displays all jobs, TSO users, started tasks, and initiators. ALLP displays all positions. ALL displays all jobs, TSO users, started tasks, and initiators in all positions.

Notes to Users
1. JOB, TSU, STC, IN, OUT, and TRANS are the defaults supplied by SDSF. If your system programmer has changed the defaults, you can see other address space types and positions. 2. You can choose only one parameter from the ONLY column. If you choose more than one, the last ONLY you enter is the one that SDSF acts on. 3. When two parameters conflict, the last one you entered is the one SDSF acts on. The ONLY parameter conflicts with all other parameters when entered last. In those cases, ONLY takes precedence over all the other parameters. 4. You can choose as many as four parameters from the NO column. 5. You can choose only one parameter from the ALL column. If you choose more than one, the last parameter you enter is the one that SDSF acts on. 6. If you use ALL with any other parameters, you will get unexpected results. 7. The sysplex DA view requires RMF. The system programmer can control whether the DA panel is sysplex-wide or not.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> da nojob oin

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

DA

DEST Limit Panels by Destination

Use the DEST command to limit jobs on the SDSF panels to those with particular destinations. Type DEST on the command line or select it from the Filter pull-down. It affects only the H, I, O, PR, PUN, and ST panels.

Format
DEST destination-name

with no parameters displays jobs for all authorized destinations, if no IDEST list is specified in ISFPARMS. If both IDEST and DEST lists are specified in ISFPARMS, the jobs for authorized destination names in the IDEST list are displayed. See the following notes for more information.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

DEST
destination name can be from one to four destination names that replace the current destination list, in any format acceptable to JES2. + ? adds the destination name that follow to the current destination list. deletes the destination names that follow from the current destination list. displays the current setting for DEST.

Notes to Users
1. You can enter the destination name in any format acceptable to JES2. If you enter the node name without a user ID youll see all jobs and outputs destined for the node. 2. You can add or delete selective destinations in all JES2 environments. 3. If you enter the DEST command with no destination names specified, you either see jobs for all authorized destinations, or jobs for those authorized destinations that your session is initialized with.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> dest chicago omaha This command displays all jobs with destinations of CHICAGO and OMAHA. This list replaces the current destination list. v COMMAND INPUT ===> dest + laramie This command adds all jobs with the destination of LARAMIE. v COMMAND INPUT ===> dest - chicago This command deletes CHICAGO from the current destination list and removes all jobs with destination of CHICAGO from the display.

See page 33 for a description of pattern matching. value is the value to be used for comparison, from one to 25 characters. The value must be consistent with the column format. For example, if the column is numeric, use a numeric value. If the column is hexadecimal, use a hexadecimal value. See page 34 for rules about specifying column names. ? under ISPF, this displays the Filter pop-up where you can type either filter criteria or select from a list of filters. Under TSO, it displays the current filter on the command line. If the filter doesnt fit on the command line, SDSF displays it on the message line.

Note to Users
The Filter pop-up lets you enter multiple filters. You can also specify whether SDSF should AND or OR the filters. You select AND or OR to apply across different columns (for example, JOBNAME and PRTY) and a different AND or OR to apply across values for a single column.

FIND Find a Character String

Use the FIND command to search the data for and scroll the data to the first occurrence of a specified character string. SDSF searches v All the data in the logs and ODS panels v The fixed field on tabular panels (for example, the job name field of the DA, I, ST, O, H panels) Type FIND on the command line.

Format
FIND F

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

FIND
NEXT PREV FIRST LAST ALL CHARS WORD PREFIX SUFFIX

string-pattern *

stcol stcol-endcol

with no parameters reissues the previous FIND command. The stcol and endcol parameters are remembered between the browse panels but are not remembered between any other panels. ALL is never remembered. string-pattern is the character string to which SDSF is to scroll the data. On the tabular panels, string is limited to 8 characters, except on the INIT panel where it is limited to 4. If the character string contains blanks, or if it is an asterisk, it must be enclosed in single quotation marks. If it begins with a single quotation mark, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks. The FIND command does not differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters. That is, both the character string and the data are converted to uppercase for the purposes of the search. On the browse panels, you can specify a string of up to 18 hexadecimal characters using X'string'. This string can contain only hexadecimal digits (09, AF) and there must be an even number of digits. In the related message, SDSF displays the actual hexadecimal string, not the translated hexadecimal string. * causes SDSF to search for the character string that was entered on the previous FIND command. string and * are mutually exclusive, but * can be entered with the other parameters to modify the previous FIND command. If no other parameters are entered, the defaults (NEXT and CHARS) are assumed. SDSF remembers the previous string even if there have been intervening scrolls or other commands. stcol specifies that the character string being searched for must begin in the column number indicated by stcol. stcol should not be larger than the logical record length of the field being searched. stcol can be omitted. stcol endcol is optional and limits the search to the range specified by stcol and endcol . The string specified must be less than or equal to the range in length. NEXT causes SDSF to search forward (toward the end of the data) from the cursor position. NEXT is the default and can be omitted. PREV causes SDSF to search backward (toward the beginning of the data) from the cursor position. FIRST is an optional parameter that finds the first occurrence of the string. It starts the search at the beginning of the data and continues forward until the character string is found or until the end of the data is reached. FIRST is not limited by FINDLIM.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

FIND
LAST is an optional parameter that finds the last occurrence of the string. It starts the search at the end of the last line of data and continues backward until the character is found or until the beginning of the data is reached. LAST is not limited by FINDLIM. ALL is an optional parameter that starts the search at the beginning of the data and continues to the end of the data. If the character string is found, SDSF displays the line with the first occurrence. A message tells you how many times SDSF found that character string. On the tabular panels, the character string is counted only once in the searched field, even if it occurs more than once in that field. ALL is not limited by FINDLIM. CHARS indicates a character string. It is optional and it is the default. WORD is optional and indicates that the string is preceded and followed by a nonalphanumeric character. This is only valid on the browse panels. PREFIX or PRE is optional and indicates that the string is preceded by a nonalphanumeric character and followed by an alphanumeric character. This is only valid on the browse panels. SUFFIX or SUF is optional and indicates that the string is preceded by an alphanumeric character and followed by a nonalphanumeric character. This is only valid on the browse panels.

Notes to Users
1. If you use FIND ALL in the browse panels, or in an output data set, SDSF truncates the digits above 999999. You will see 999999+. 2. If the start column is specified without an end column, the string must begin in that column. 3. SDSF remembers the string and other parameters you entered with the FIND command until you enter a FIND command with new parameters, or until you end the SDSF session. This is true in all cases except: v The ALL parameter is not remembered v The stcol and endcol parameters are remembered only between the browse panels. To reissue the previous FIND command, enter FIND with no parameters or use the Repeat-Find PF key (PF5 by default, which is defined as IFIND). Issuing FIND with no parameters resumes the search from the command line. Pressing the Repeat-Find PF key resumes the search from the previously found string. 4. When Repeat-Find is issued following a FIND ALL or FIND FIRST command, SDSF searches for the next occurrence of the string and follows the rules for the NEXT parameter. When Repeat-Find is issued following a FIND LAST command, SDSF searches for the previous occurrence of the string and follows the rules for the PREV parameter. 5. When a FIND command is entered, the data is searched until: v The requested character string is found.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

FIND
v The bottom of the data is reached (for a FIRST or NEXT request). v The top of the data is reached (for a LAST or PREV request). v The search limit is reached, except for FIRST, LAST, and ALL. This search limit is set by the system programmer at installation time. You may reset this limit using the FINDLIM command. 6. Three EBCDIC characters are considered alphanumeric. They are #, $, and @. 7. If the previous search ended at the top or bottom of the data, the resumed search wraps around and begins at the bottom or top, respectively.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> find job1 On the browse panels, this command searches all columns in a forward direction for the character string JOB1. On the tabular panels, this command causes SDSF to search the first field (job name, printer name, initiator ID, or ddname) forward for the character string JOB1. v COMMAND INPUT ===> find * prev This command, if entered after the FIND command in the above example, causes SDSF to perform the same search for the character string JOB1, but in the reverse direction. v COMMAND INPUT ===> find 'job004' 12 prev On the browse panels, this command causes SDSF to search backward for the character string JOB004. The character string must begin in column 12. On the tabular panels, this command fails because the searched field is shorter than 12 columns. v COMMAND INPUT ===> f user 2 10 This command searches forward for the character string USER anywhere between columns 2 and 10. v COMMAND INPUT ===> f This command resumes the previous search from the command line, with the same parameters as specified on the previous FIND command.

Related Commands
FINDLIM allows you to reset the limit for the number of lines searched (page 57). COLS displays a scale line on the browse panels (page 44).

FINDLIM Reset FIND Limit

Use the FINDLIM command to reset the limit for the number of lines searched when the FIND command is issued in the browse panels. Type FINDLIM on the command line or select it from the Options pull-down. However, it only has an effect on the browse panels.

H Display Held Output Queue

Use the H command to list and display information about output data sets for jobs, started tasks, and TSO users that are on any held JES2 output queue. Type H on the command line or select it from the Display pull-down.

Format
H output-class ALL string-pattern

with no parameters displays all jobs with names that are prefixed with your user ID. output-class is a list of up to 7 output classes. H limits the panel to jobs with those classes. There is no blank between H and an output class or between output classes. ALL displays all jobs. string-pattern is a character string that limits the panel to jobs with names that match that character string. string-pattern may include the special pattern matching characters described 33.

Notes to Users
1. To use the H command when DEST and OWNER are not set to limit the display: a. Enter the list of output classes without a space after the H command. Only data sets that are in these held output classes and that begin with your setting of PREFIX are displayed. PREFIX is set either by the PREFIX command or in ISFPARMS. b. Specify the H command with one parameter, a character string, which limits the display to jobs whose names match the character string. This parameter

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

H
further limits the PREFIX setting and should be used whenever possible to improve the performance of SDSF. You cannot use H ALL with a character string. SDSF first checks the job name against the PREFIX setting. If the job name matches the PREFIX setting, SDSF checks the job name against the character string you specified with the H command. If the job name does not match both the PREFIX setting and the H character string parameter, it is not displayed. 2. Do one of the following to see all jobs with job names beginning with your user ID: a. Issue H userid *. b. If your PREFIX setting is *, issue the PREFIX command with no parameters and then issue H (with no character string). c. Issue the PREFIX command with no parameters and then issue H. 3. Do one of the following to see all jobs: a. Set PREFIX to **. Enter H. b. Issue PREFIX and H ALL. If you then refresh the H panel by issuing the H command, the panel reverts to showing only jobs for your user ID. To see all jobs again, issue H ALL. 4. You see netmail when your current PREFIX matches a jobs netmail ID. The netmail ID is in the WTR field or as part of the DEST field, depending on the JES2 release.

Examples
These examples assume that DEST, OWNER, and FILTER are not set to limit the display. v COMMAND INPUT ===> h This command displays all held output data sets for those jobs that are prefixed by your user ID, when PREFIX has been set to *. v COMMAND INPUT ===> h all This command displays all held output data sets for all jobs as long as PREFIX has been set to *. v COMMAND INPUT ===> hr If your PREFIX is set to a string, this command displays all held output data sets for those jobs in held class R that match the string. If your PREFIX is set to *, this command displays all held output data sets for those jobs in held class R that match your user ID. v COMMAND INPUT ===> hr all This command displays all jobs in held class R, when PREFIX is set to *. v COMMAND INPUT ===> hxq ieb This command displays only the output in the held JES2 output classes X and Q for jobs whose names match the characters IEB. This is true as long as PREFIX has not been set to a string or as long as IEB is a subset of the PREFIX value that has been set. v COMMAND INPUT ===> prefix COMMAND INPUT ===> h all This series of commands displays all jobs on the H panel. v COMMAND INPUT ===> prefix * COMMAND INPUT ===> h

Use the LOCATE command to scroll the panel directly to a specific line or column. You request the line by a line number, and the column by column heading. Type LOCATE, LOC, or L on the command line of the tabular panels.

Format
LOCATE LOC L line-number column-heading

line-number is the 1 to 8-digit line number to which you scroll the panel. For the browse panels, the line number is relative to the beginning of the current data set. column-heading is the heading of the column to be located. The panel is scrolled so that column is the first column after the fixed field. See Specifying a Column Name on page 34.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> locate 3457 This command scrolls the panel to line 3457 of the data or to the bottom of the data if there are fewer than 3457 lines. v COMMAND INPUT ===> locate crdate This command scrolls the panel to the CRDATE column, making it the first column after the fixed field.

LOCATE Locate Data on the Browse Panels

Format
ODS and ULOG panels:
LOCATE LOC L line-number

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

LOCATE
Log panels:
LOCATE LOC L time date line-number

line-number is a 1 to 8-digit number that specifies a quantity of lines from the beginning of the current log or output data set. For OPERLOG, this is the quantity of lines from the top line of the panel. time is the time of day you want to scroll the log to, in a 24-hour clock format (see page 34 for rules about entering times). date is the date you want to scroll the log to, in the current date format. (See page 34 for rules about entering dates). If you dont specify a date, SDSF assumes the date at the top of the panel.

Note to Users
When locating by time, the log panel is positioned as near as possible to the specified time. For example, if you specify midnight: v The SYSLOG panel displays either the beginning or end of the physical spool that contains midnight. v The OPERLOG panel displays the block of records that was written to the log stream at midnight, rather than the time the message was issued.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> locate 156 This command scrolls 156 lines forward from the top line being displayed on the SYSLOG, ULOG, or output data set. On OPERLOG, it scrolls forward 156 lines from the top line displayed. v COMMAND INPUT ===> loc 10:25:00 This command scrolls to the first line with the time 10:25 a.m. v COMMAND INPUT ===> loc 13.00.00 This command scrolls the panel to the nearest line prior to 1:00 p.m. of the date being displayed. v COMMAND INPUT ===> l 07:45:00 11/12/98 This command scrolls the panel to the data corresponding to 7:45 a.m. on November 12, 1998.

LOG Display SYSLOG or OPERLOG

Use the LOG command to access either the SYSLOG or OPERLOG panels to view the MVS system log in chronological formats.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

LOG
SYSLOG displays the MVS system log data logically ordered by time and date. OPERLOG displays the merged, sysplex-wide system message loga log stream that is an alternative to the DASD data sets used for the system log. You can also see outstanding write-to-operator-with-reply (WTORs) at the bottom of both logs. Type LOG on the command line or select it from the Display pull-down.

Format
LOG OPER O SYSLOG S

with no parameters displays the default log panel. OPER or O specifies that you want to see the OPERLOG panel. SYSLOG or S specifies that you want to see the SYSLOG panel.

Notes to Users
1. When you first access the log panels, you see the most recent entries (at the bottom). When you exit, then return to the panels, you resume at the point where you left. 2. When SDSF is running under a secondary JES2 subsystem and processing a secondary JES2 SYSLOG, there can not always be entries associated with that SYSLOG data set. If so, when you issue the LOG command, the SYSLOG appears, but indicates that it has zero entries. 3. When you print the SYSLOG by time and date, SDSF begins at the date you specified and ends a few records after the end of that date. 4. SDSF attempts to display the correct date for all SYSLOG data on the SYSLOG panel. If the records do not contain a time stamp, SDSF approximates the selection.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> log This command displays the default Log panel. v COMMAND INPUT ===> log oper This command displays the OPERLOG panel.

LOGLIM Limit Filter on Operlog

Use the LOGLIM command to limit the amount of OPERLOG data that SDSF will search for records that meet filter criteria. Type LOGLIM on the command line or select it from the Options pull-down.

Format
LOGLIM LOGL number ?

number is the number of hours to use as the limit, from 0 to 999, where 0 indicates that there is no limit. When filters are in effect, SDSF searches the data on the OPERLOG panel no more than number hours for records that meet the filter criteria. ? displays the current setting. You can retain the setting by pressing Enter or change it by typing a new value.

Notes to Users
1. SDSF stops searching for records that meet filter criteria when it has found a screens worth of data, or when it reaches the limit, whichever comes first. 2. When scrolling causes SDSF to resume searching for records that meet the filter criteria, SDSF calculates the limit from the date and time of the top line on the screen. 3. For calculating the limit when no records are available, SDSF uses the current date and time. 4. Some SDSF functions reposition the OPERLOG regardless of the setting for LOGLIM: NEXT, PREV, LOCATE, and scrolling with max UP or max DOWN. PRINT with a begin date and time outside the limit also repositions the OPERLOG.

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> LOGLIM 2

NEXT Scroll Forward through Data Sets

Use the NEXT command on the ODS panel to quickly scroll from one data set to another. The NEXT command is the opposite of the PREV command. Since the output or input from a job frequently contains multiple SYSOUT or SYSIN data sets (the JES2 job log, JCL, and allocation/termination messages are all separate data sets), the ODS panel frequently contains too much data to scroll through screen by screen. The NEXT command scrolls the panel forward (toward the end of the data) to the beginning of the specified SYSOUT data set.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

NEXT
The current SYSOUT data set is the one whose number appears at the top of the panel after the data set ID. Type NEXT on the command line of the ODS panel.

Format
NEXT N number

number is the number of data sets to be scrolled forward. The default for number is 1. If the number is 0, the panel is scrolled to the beginning of the current data set.

Note to Users
When you access the ODS panel from JDS or OD, SDSF browses only a single data set at a time, and NEXT will not scroll to the next data set.

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> next This command scrolls the ODS panel forward to the beginning of the next SYSOUT or SYSIN data set.

NEXT Scroll Forward through OPERLOG

Use the NEXT command on the OPERLOG panel to quickly scroll to the log data for the next day, hour, minute, or second. The NEXT command is the opposite of the PREV command. Type NEXT on the command line of the OPERLOG panel.

Format
NEXT N H M S D

| | | | | ARRANGE, DEST, FILTER, SELECT, SYSNAME limit what PR displays (pages 41, 47, 50, 92, 112). The DEST command takes priority over the PR command. For example, DEST U1 R4 causes a PR command with no parameters to only display information about local printer 1 and remote printer 4. PUN accesses the Punch panel ? accesses an alternate form of the PR panel (page 35).

SORT sorts columns on this panel (page 107). SET TIMEOUT sets the timeout for sysplex data (page 105).

PREFIX Limit Panels by Prefix

Use the PREFIX command to limit your panels to jobs whose names match a specific character string. Type PREFIX on the command line or select it from the Filter pull-down. It only affects the DA, I, O, H, and ST panels.

Format
PREFIX PRE string-pattern ?

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

PREFIX
with no parameters displays all jobs, except on the H panel, where it displays all jobs with names that begin with your user ID. To display all jobs on the H panel, enter the H ALL command, and then enter the PREFIX * command. If you do not enter the PREFIX command, the PREFIX setting defaults to the PREFIX setting in ISFPARMS. For more information about this setting see OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security. string-pattern is a character string of up to 8 characters that can limit which jobs are displayed on the DA, I, ST, O, and H panels. Only those jobs whose names match string-pattern are displayed, and on the O panel, jobs whose netmail ID match string-pattern are also displayed. string-pattern may include the special pattern matching characters described 33. ? displays the current PREFIX setting of string-pattern. You can retain that setting by pressing Enter or change it by entering a new parameter.

Notes to Users
1. On the O panel, users also see netmail when the PREFIX matches a jobs netmail ID. The netmail ID, in the O panel, is in either the WTR field or is part of the DEST field, depending upon the JES2 release. 2. The use of the PREFIX command can be controlled either in ISFPARMS or in SAF by the system programmer. The programmer can: v Preset the default PREFIX for some users. v Deactivate the PREFIX command for some users. v Cause specific jobs to always be included on the panels, no matter how the PREFIX or FILTER commands are set.

Examples
These examples assume that DEST and OWNER are not set to limit the display. v COMMAND INPUT ===> prefix ieb* When this command is in effect, the DA, I, ST, O, and H panels display only jobs whose names begin with the character string IEB. v COMMAND INPUT ===> prefix When this command is in effect, the DA, I, ST, and O panels display all jobs. The H panel displays only jobs with names prefixed with your user ID. v COMMAND INPUT ===> prefix abc This command displays all jobs named ABC. v COMMAND INPUT ===> prefix * COMMAND INPUT ===> h abc* This series of commands displays all jobs on the H panel with names beginning with the character string ABC.

Related Commands
SET SCHARS changes the * or % values to other characters (page 103). SET DISPLAY ON displays the current setting for FILTER or PREFIX on the SDSF tabular panels (page 50, 99).
Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

PREV Scroll Backward through Data Sets

Use the PREV command to quickly scroll the ODS panel from one data set to another. Since the output or input from a job frequently contains multiple SYSOUT or SYSIN data sets (the JES2 job log, JCL, and allocation/termination messages are all separate data sets), the ODS panel frequently contains too much data to scroll through screen by screen. The PREV command causes the panel to be scrolled backward (toward the beginning of the data) to the beginning of a specified SYSOUT data set. The current SYSOUT data set is the one whose line is at the top of the panel. The number of this data set is displayed by the ODS panel. PREV is the opposite of the NEXT command. Type PREV on the command line of the ODS panel.

Format
PREV P number

with no parameters scrolls backward to the log data for the previous hour. The panel is positioned with the first record for that hour at the top of the screen. number is the number of hours or days to scroll backward.

Note to Users
When you access the ODS panel from JDS or OD, SDSF browses only a single data set at a time, and PREV will not scroll to the previous data set.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> prev 3 This command scrolls the ODS panel backward to the beginning of the third SYSOUT or SYSIN data set previous to the current one. v COMMAND INPUT ===> p 0 This command scrolls the ODS panel to the beginning of the current SYSOUT or SYSIN data set.

PREV Scroll Backward through OPERLOG

Use the PREV command on the OPERLOG panel to quickly scroll to the log data for the previous day, hour, minute, or second. The PREV command is the opposite of the NEXT command. Type PREV on the command line of the OPERLOG panel.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

Format
PREV P H M S D

number

with no parameters scrolls backward one hour. number is the number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, from 1 to 99, to scroll backward. The default for number is 1. H indicates that the unit for number is hours. This is the default.

M indicates that the unit for number is minutes. S D indicates that the unit for number is seconds. indicates that the unit for number is days.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> prev This command scrolls the OPERLOG panel backward to the first log data for the previous hour. If the first record on the screen was for 10:15, the first record after you press Enter is for 9:15. v COMMAND INPUT ===> p 6 m This command scrolls the OPERLOG panel backward six minutes. If the first record was for 10:15, the first record displayed is 10:09.

Related Command
NEXT scrolls the OPERLOG to the next day, hour, minute, or second (page 71).

PRINT Print Screen Images or Data

Use the PRINT command to print screen images of SDSF tabular or browse panels, output data, and data from the logs to a print data set. The print data set can be either SYSOUT or a data set. (On tabular panels, you can use the X action character and its parameters in place of this command.) Printing includes: 1. Opening a print data set to receive the printed output, using optional SDSF open print panels to specify print data set values 2. Printing screen images, output data, and log data to the print data set 3. Closing the print data set. For a discussion of these steps, see Printing from SDSF Panels on page 21. The following is a brief summary of the PRINT command; all parameters are not shown. They are described following the syntax diagrams.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

PRINT
PRINT with no parameters: Tabular, log opens a default SYSOUT file ODS prints the entire data set

ULOG prints the entire user log PRINT OPEN Opens a SYSOUT data set to receive the printed output PRINT SYSOUT Displays an open print panel for SYSOUT so you can view and modify SYSOUT values and enter a print destination PRINT ODSN Opens a data set to receive the printed output PRINT DATASET Displays an open print data set panel so you can allocate a new data set PRINT FILE Opens a print file using a ddname to receive the printed output. PRINT SCREEN Under TSO, prints a screen image PRINT-HI Under ISPF, prints a screen image PRINT CLOSE Closes the print data set and makes it available for printing Type PRINT on the command line or use the Print pull-down. The command parameters that you use depend upon the type of data you are printing, and the print data set to be used.

with no parameters Tabular, logs if a print data set is not already open, opens a default SYSOUT with a default class. ODS prints the entire output data set.

ULOG prints the entire user log. OPEN opens a sysout data set to receive the output. class is the sysout class to use for the file. If you omit class, SDSF uses the default specified by the system programmer when SDSF is installed. copies is the number of copies you want to print. form-name is the forms identifier for the printed output. The default is your installations forms identifier for the specified class. ODSN opens a DASD data set to receive the print output. data-set-name is the data set name. Enclose it in quotes if you do not want data-set-name prefixed with your user ID. When you specify data-set-name, and if the disposition is NEW or MOD and the data set does not exist, then SDSF uses a default set of attributes to allocate the data set. You can specify the optional volume serial to direct the allocation to a specific volume. * specifies that the data set is cataloged and the vol-ser is not to be used. Either vol-ser or * is required if you enter a disposition.

vol-ser specifies the volume serial number you should use when allocating the data set.
Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

PRINT
OLD or O specifies a data set disposition of old. OLD is the default. OLD means the data set already exists, is overwritten, and you require exclusive use of the data set. (Do not specify OLD if a data set does not exist.) MOD or M specifies a data set disposition of modify. MOD indicates that you want to append the data to a sequential data set. If you specify MOD when a data set does not exist, one is created. NEW or N specifies a data set disposition of new. NEW indicates that you want to allocate a new data set. SHR or S specifies a data set disposition of share. SHR means the data set already exists, is overwritten, and you do not require exclusive use of the data set. (Do not specify SHR if a data set does not exist.) SYSOUT or S displays the open print panel for sysout so that you can view and modify sysout allocation values; you can also enter a print destination. (This is equivalent to entering the XS action character on tabular panels.) The SYSOUT parameter is not valid when SDSF is running in batch. DATASET or D displays the open print data set panel so that you can allocate a new data set. (This is equivalent to entering the XD action character on tabular panels.) The DATASET parameter is not valid when SDSF is running in batch. FILE or F displays the open print file panel so you can specify a ddname for the print file. SDSF prints data to the file as is, without inserting control characters. (This is equivalent to entering the XF action character on tabular panels.) ddname uses the preallocated ddname.

Notes to Users (Opening a Print Data Set)

1. By using a disk data set, you can print output that has more than 236 characters. If the disk data set has a logical record length less than that of the SYSOUT data set, the data is truncated and no message is issued. 2. When allocating a data set, you must specify a data set organization of sequential (DSORG=PS) or partitioned (DSORG=PO). 3. When using the ODSN option to print a SYSOUT file that does not contain printer carriage control, the data set specified must have a logical record length that is one byte greater than the SYSOUT files logical record length. All PRINT commands generate ANSI control characters in the output data set except for page-mode data. 4. If a SYSOUT file is defined to JES2 as page-mode data, the printer control characters are not converted to ANSI. SYSOUT files containing both page-mode-data and machine character data are not defined as page-mode-data in JES2.

Examples (Opening a Print Data Set)

v COMMAND INPUT ===> print

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

PRINT

If entered on any other panel, this command opens a SYSOUT print data set with the default class and form-pattern. v COMMAND INPUT ===> print open c 2 std This command opens a SYSOUT print data set and specifies a SYSOUT class of C, two copies, and form number STD. v COMMAND INPUT ===> print odsn 'sys2.print' ipores mod This command opens a preallocated disk data set named SYS2.PRINT on volume IPORES with a disposition of MOD. v COMMAND INPUT ===> print odsn 'sys3.print' * shr This command opens a preallocated, cataloged, disk data set named SYS3.PRINT with a disposition of SHR.

Printing the Selected Data

Tabular panels:
PRINT PRT PT SCREEN

ODS and log panels:

PRINT PRT PT begin-number end-number * end-number begin-time begin-date

end-time

end-date

with no parameters See the explanation on page 81. SCREEN prints the current screen image when SDSF is running as a TSO command processor. PF keys 9 and 21 can also be used to print the screen. When running under ISPF, you must use the PRINT-HI command. You do not need to open to use PRINT-HI; it prints to the ISPF list data set. begin-number end-number specifies the range of lines to print on the ODS and log panels. For ODS, the line numbers are relative to the beginning of the current data set, not to all the data being displayed. * end-number A value of * for begin-number specifies the top line being displayed, and indicates that end-number is a quantity of lines from that line. For OPERLOG, begin-number must be *. The OPERLOG panel doesnt use absolute line numbers, and so cannot accept a range of line numbers.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

PRINT
begin-time end-time specifies the beginning and ending time of the lines to be printed (log panels only). See page 34 for rules about time formats. begin-date end-date specifies the beginning and ending date of the lines to be printed (log panels only). If omitted, SDSF uses the date of the current top line. If you specify only one date, SDSF uses it as the begin date. See page 34 for rules about date formats.

Notes to Users (Printing the Selected Data)

1. When printing using a time/date range, the resulting output data set starts and ends with records as near as possible to the times specified. For example, when printing from 8:00 a.m. on day 1 to 8:00 a.m. on day 2, the output data set begins with the physical spool that contains 8:00 a.m. for day 1 and ends with the physical spool that contains 8:00 a.m. for day 2. As a result, the output data set can contain a few records outside of the specified time/date range. 2. When you print the OPERLOG by time and date, the time applies to the time the record was recorded to OPERLOG, not when the message was issued.

Examples (Printing the Selected Data)

v COMMAND INPUT ===> print This command, if entered on an ODS panel, prints the entire contents of the output data set being displayed. If entered on any other panel, this command opens a SYSOUT print data set with the default class and form-pattern. v COMMAND INPUT ===> print 22 113 This command causes lines 22 through 113 of the browse panel to be printed and causes a dynamic open if not previously opened. v COMMAND INPUT ===> PT 08.00.00 11/13/1998 12.00.00 11/14/1998 This command prints the lines from the log panel from 8:00 a.m. on November 13, 1998 through noon on November 14, 1998 and causes a dynamic open if not previously opened. v COMMAND INPUT ===> print * 893 If entered on the OPERLOG panel, this prints the operlog, starting with the current line and for the next 893 lines. v COMMAND INPUT ===> print 10:00:00 05/11/98 10:00:00 05/13/98 This prints all lines from 10:00 May 11, 1998 through 10:00 May 13, 1998 for either SYSLOG or OPERLOG.

Closing the Print Data Set

PRINT PRT PT CLOSE

The PRINT CLOSE command either frees the SYSOUT data set and makes it available for printing or closes the DASD data set.

SELECT Limit Rows on the Tabular Panels

Use the SELECT command to limit the rows on the tabular panels. You can use it as a fast path to quickly display a job on a tabular display without having to change your current prefix, owner, destination or filter values. On the queue panels (DA, I, O, H, and ST), SELECT temporarily overrides other filters set by parameters on the panel commands, and by FILTER, PREFIX, DEST, and OWNER. To override PREFIX, DEST, or OWNER, you must be authorized to issue that command. To override DEST, you must also be authorized to the destinations. If you are not authorized to the command or destination, SELECT works with only the rows that it did not filter out. On the queue panels (DA, I, O, H, and ST), you can limit the rows to a specified job based on jobname, job number, or job identifier. On the other tabular panels, you can limit the rows based on the fixed field. For example, you can limit the PR panel to a specific printer, or the INIT panel to a specific initiator. The SELECT command provides a one-time filter. Unlike prefix, owner, destination, and filter values, the SELECT command value is not saved across sessions under ISPF. It lasts only until you reaccess the display. Type SELECT on the command line.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

SELECT

Format
All tabular panels:
SELECT S rows-to-select

Queue panels (DA, I, O, H, and ST):

SELECT S jobname jobnumber jobname jobid jobname workid

JDS panel:
SELECT S ddname ddname stepname

with no parameters removes any filtering done with the SELECT command. rows-to-select specifies the rows to be selected. All tabular panels accept the fixed field (the first column after NP). For example, on the PR panel it is a printer name; on the INIT panel it is an initiator ID. The queue and JDS panels accept other columns as well. You can use the pattern-matching character values * and %. See page 33. jobname if the job name is not unique, displays all jobs with that name. jobnumber is the job number. You do not need to type leading zeros. jobname jobid is the job name, followed by the job identifier (JOB, TSU, or STC plus the number). You can abbreviate jobid to J, T, or S, followed by the job number. You do not need to type leading zeros (for example, T438 for TSU00438). jobname workid the job name and work ID. You can specify a system work ID as the letter A followed by the work ID number. You do not need to type leading zeros. ddname is the ddname. ddname stepname is the ddname and step name.

SET CONFIRM Action Character Confirmation

Use SET CONFIRM to control whether SDSF requests confirmation of action characters on job-oriented tabular panels. Type SET CONFIRM on the command line or select it from the Options pull-down.

Format
SET CONFIRM ON OFF ?

with no parameters sets the value to ON. ON indicates that cancel, purge, and restart action characters will require confirmation on job-oriented tabular panels (DA, H, I, JDS, O, and ST). OFF indicates that no action character confirmation will be required. ? displays the current setting on the command line.

Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

SET CONFIRM

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> SET CONFIRM ON This command enables confirmation of action characters for jobs and output.

SET CONSOLE Set Extended Console

Use the SET CONSOLE command to set the extended console name to be activated by SDSF and to optionally request a migration console ID. Type SET CONSOLE on the command line or select Set console name from the Options pull-down.

Format
SET CONSOLE console-name ? NOMIG MIG

with no parameters specifies that the console name is to be reset to your user ID and a migration identifier is not to be assigned. console-name specifies the console name to be used when an extended console is activated for the ULOG panel. A console-name is 2 to 8 characters and cannot start with a digit. Characters are alphanumeric and can also include the characters #, $, and @. For more details on assigning console names, see the appropriate manual for planning MVS operations. ? displays the current SET CONSOLE settings. You can retain that setting by pressing Enter or change it by entering a new parameter.

NOMIG indicates that a migration identifier is not needed for the activated console. MIG indicates that a migration identifier is needed for the activated console. A migration identifier is needed in order to receive command responses from command processors that do not support an extended console ID. Since the number of migration identifiers for the system is limited, you should request one only if it is needed.

Notes to Users
1. The log recording begins when either SDSF issues its first MVS or JES command or you enter a ULOG command and a console is not already active. Use the SET CONSOLE command to set the console name. 2. You can assign a console migration identifier so that you can receive command responses from command processors that do not support extended console IDs.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

SET CONSOLE
3. The current console name being used is displayed in the title line of the ULOG panel.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> set console tape This command specifies that an extended console name of TAPE is used for the ULOG display. v COMMAND INPUT ===> set console This command resets the console name to your user ID. v COMMAND INPUT ===> set console ken mig This command sets the console name to KEN and requests that a migration identifier be assigned.

Related Command
ULOG displays the user session log (page 116).

SET CURSOR Cursor Placement

Use SET CURSOR to control how SDSF places the cursor on tabular panels. Type SET CURSOR on the command line or select it from the Options pull-down.

Format
SET CURSOR ON OFF ?

with no parameters sets the value to ON. ON causes the cursor to return to the NP column for the last row you worked with. The cursor is returned to the command line when the row is no longer visible on the panel, or when you press Enter without having first typed an action character or overtyped a field. This is the default. OFF causes SDSF to always return the cursor to the command line. ? displays the current setting on the command line.

Note to Users
The setting for cursor placement does not apply to the OD panel.

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> SET CURSOR ON
Chapter 3. SDSF Commands

SET CURSOR
This command causes the cursor to return to the last row you worked with on tabular panels.

SET DATE Date Format

Use SET DATE to select a date format. SDSF uses the date format in date columns on tabular panels, on the title line of log panels, and with commands that accept dates. Type SET DATE on the command line or select it from the Options pull-down.

Format
SET DATE MMDDYYYY DDMMYYYY YYYYMMDD ? / .

MMDDYYYY sets the date format to month day year. DDMMYYYY sets the date format to day month year. YYYYMMDD sets the date format to year month day. / . ? sets the date separator to slash (/). The separator is used to separate month, day, and year. sets the date separator to dash (-). sets the date separator to period (.). displays the current setting for SET DATE.

Notes to Users
1. You can enter years as 2 rather than 4 digits. SDSF converts 2-digit years to 4-digit years by prefixing them with the first 2 digits of the current year. However, when you enter dates with periods as separators (for example, 1998.09.06) you must enter a 4-digit year. This allows SDSF to distinguish a year from a time. 2. Although SET DATE changes the format of the date that is displayed on the title line of the log panels, it does not affect the format of the dates in the log data.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> SET DATE YYYYMMDD . This command sets the date format for SDSF panels and commands to year.month.day. v COMMAND INPUT ===> SET DATE DDMMYYYY This command changes the order of the date information to day month year. The separator character is unchanged.

SET DELAY Set / Timeout Value

Use the SET DELAY command to set the default timeout value for awaiting responses to the slash (/) command. (The / command lets you enter MVS and JES2 commands from the SDSF command line.) Type SET DELAY on the command line or select Set delay for responses from the Options pull-down.

Format
SET DELAY timeout-value ?

with no parameters specifies a default timeout value of 1 second. timeout-value specifies the default timeout value (in seconds) for which SDSF waits for message responses to the slash (/) command. | | | The timeout-value must be in the range of 0 to 9999 seconds, where 0 indicates that SDSF neither waits nor displays any message responses on the message line. The message responses are still written to the user log. The default is 1 second. SDSF waits until the timeout value has passed or the first response is received. ? displays the current SET DELAY settings. You can retain that setting by pressing Enter or change it by entering a new parameter.

Note to Users
The delay interval is only in effect when an extended console is active and you entered a slash command.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> set delay 5 This command sets a command response delay interval of 5 seconds. v COMMAND INPUT ===> set delay 0 This command sets SDSF not to wait or display messages in response to a slash (/) command on the message line. You can view the response in the ULOG. v COMMAND INPUT ===> set delay This command sets a command response delay of 1 second (the default).

SORT
A major-column D A D OFF ? minor-column

A D

major-column

with no parameters sorts a panel using the fixed field for that panel as the column to be sorted. The column is sorted in ascending order. major-column is the heading of the column to be sorted first. This is the major key. See Specifying a Column Name on page 34. minor-column is the heading of the column to be sorted after the major-column is sorted. This is the minor key. If you specify a minor-column, you must specify a sort order (A or D) for the major-column. Use the rules described on page 34 when specifying the minor-column. A specifies that the sort order is to be ascending on the column for the key. This is the default when: v Only a major key is specified v For the minor key, if both major and minor keys are specified, but an order is not given for the minor key. D specifies that the sort order is to be descending on the column for the key.

OFF specifies that the sort criteria are to be deleted for the panel. The panel is refreshed and is not sorted. ? displays the current SORT parameters. You can retain that setting by pressing Enter or change it by entering a new parameter.

Notes to Users
1. The headings for the same column on the primary and alternate form of a panel can be different. If so, SDSF recognizes the difference and sorts both the primary and alternate forms of the panel. 2. Sorting presents a potential for degraded performance when a column is specified that requires an I/O operation for its data. The // separator shown in the display of current SORT values by the SET DISPLAY command indicates that the sort can degrade system performance.

SYSNAME
| | | | | ? system-name is a character string of up to 8 characters to limit the systems displayed on the DA, INIT and PR panels. Only data for systems whose names match system-name is displayed. You can use the special pattern matching characters described in Pattern Matching on page 33 for system-name. displays the current setting for SYSNAME.

Note to Users
| | | | | | | | | | The sysplex-wide panels (other than DA) use SDSF servers to gather data for display. The set of servers is defined in a server group in SDSFs initialization parameters. Only the JES2 members processed by that set of servers are included on the panel, regardless of the settings of any filter commands, including SYSNAME. If you enter SYSNAME with no parameters, or SYSNAME local-system, SDSF does not use the servers in the server group to gather data. To use the server group with the local system (for example, if you have a server group that lets you see data for JES2 and JESA on SY1) add an asterisk (*) to the local system name on the SYSNAME command (for example, SYSNAME SY1*).

ALL turns on tracing for all events. mask specifies the event mask to be used. You can trace several events at one time by combining the mask values (in hexadecimal). The mask is a hexadecimal number that is 2, 4, 6, or 8 characters long. Each bit in the number represents a specific SDSF event to be traced. Leading zeros are not required, but the resulting mask must have an even number of digits. Possible values of mask are: | | | | 00800000 Message service 00400000 Communications events 00200000 ISFPARMS statements

TRACE
The other trace masks not explicitly defined are reserved.

Notes to Users
1. If you did not allocate a trace data set prior to invoking SDSF, SDSF allocates a sysout file when you issue the TRACE command. 2. SDSF does not free the ISFTRACE file when you end the SDSF session.

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT ===> tr 3400 This command enables tracing for call, return, and printer events. v COMMAND INPUT ===> trace on This command enables tracing for the events currently in effect. If an ISFTRACE file is not currently allocated, a sysout file is allocated for you.

TUTOR Display the SDSF Tutorial

Under ISPF, use the TUTOR command to display the SDSF tutorial. This tutorial is available in both English and Japanese, if your site has that language feature installed. Type TUTOR on the command line or select it from the Help pull-down.

Format
TUTOR

Example
COMMAND INPUT ===> tutor This command displays the SDSF tutorial.

Related Commands
SET LANG sets the SDSF tutorial in either English and Japanese if your site has that language feature installed (page 101). BOOK searches for additional information in an online book through BookManager (page 42). HELP gives you additional information through help screens about commands, fields, action characters, overtypeable fields and messages (page 60).

ULOG Display the User Log

Use the ULOG command to browse the user log to see all of the system commands and responses issued during your current SDSF session in chronological order. Type ULOG on the command line or select it from the Display pull-down.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

ULOG

Format
ULOG U CLOSE

with no parameters accesses the user log and activates an MVS extended console (if it is not already active). CLOSE deletes all entries in the user log and deactivates the extended console.

Notes to Users
1. Your system programmer must authorize you to use the ULOG command, and you must be authorized to activate an extended console. 2. The second time you look at the ULOG, it positions you at the last line you browsed earlier. See note item 1 on page 68 for a complete explanation of how this works. 3. When you issue commands through the slash (/) command, some subsystems (such as NetView and CICS) require that you define the console name to be the subsystem. Contact your system programmer to do this. 4. Responses can be returned to ULOG only if: v The command processor issues the message using the console ID of the extended console. v The command processor supports use of the CART (command and response token). To get a command response on the same panel as the / command was entered, the command processor must specify both console id and CART. To get the response in the ULOG, only the console id is needed. v The message response is not being suppressed through MPF (the message processing facility). v The D R,L command filters the response based on the issuing console ID. To see all outstanding replies, issue D R,L,CN=(ALL).

Examples
v COMMAND INPUT This command v COMMAND INPUT This command console. ===> ulog accesses the ULOG display. ===> ulog close deletes the entries in the user log and deactivates the extended

Related Commands
/ issues an MVS or JES2 command (page 36). FIND finds entries in the user log (page 96). PRINT makes copies of your user log (page 79). SET CONSOLE changes the name of your user log (page 96).

This chapter explains the messages and abend codes that SDSF issues to the terminal or console.

Displaying Message Help

Each SDSF message has a help panel you can display to see an explanation and response to the message. Information on displaying the message helps is included on SDSF help panels. You can also search in online documents using the BOOK command (see Using BookManager on page 10 and BOOK Use BookManager for Online Documentation on page 42). When the cursor is in the message area, BOOK uses the message text as a search string.

User Authorization
You might see a message that you are not authorized to perform a certain task. If you should be authorized, do the following: 1. Issue the WHO command. This displays your user ID, TSO logon procedure name, terminal ID, group index, and group name of the authorization group you have been assigned to based on ISFGRP macros in ISFPARMS. (For example, an index number of 3 indicates that you were assigned to the group defined by the third ISFGRP macro in ISFPARMS.) 2. Ask the system programmer to check your authorization group against the ISFGRP, ISFNTBL, and ISFFLD macros in ISFPARMS. The macros are described in OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security. 3. If the programmer has used the System Authorization Facility (SAF) for security authorization and has activated the resource class to perform the required checking, SDSF ignores ISFPARMS information. 4. If SAF rejects the security check, do the following: a. Issue the TSO command, PROFILE WTPMSG. b. Try the SDSF request that failed. c. Note the text of the ICH408I message that appears. This message identifies the profile (by name and class) that caused the authorization failure. Report the complete text of this message when asking for authorization.

SDSF Messages
This section explains the SDSF messages. The messages are in alphabetic order. Write-to-operator messages appear at the bottom of the log panels, and are described on pages 147 through 167.

The entry for each message includes a brief description of the meaning of the message and a suggested response.
ACTIVE MODIFY INVALID Explanation: An attempt to issue an action character or to modify a field for an active job, user, started task, printer or node was made. However, the action character or field modification is invalid for the active job, user, started task, or printer or node. Response: Remove the action character or modification from the panel by restoring or blanking the field, or enter the RESET command. AFD CURSOR row,column Explanation: A job that invokes SDSF with program name ISFAFD has encountered an error in working with an SDSF panel. The cursor is positioned at row,column, where row is the number of rows from the top of the display, and column is the number of characters from the left of the panel. The possible values for row and column are 1-9999. AFD ERROR error-number Explanation: An error has been encountered in a job that invokes SDSF with program name ISFAFD. Response: Use the error number to resolve the error. The error numbers are: 001 A comment has not been closed. Comments should be enclosed in /* */, for example: /* This is a comment */ 002 An action character or overtype has been entered on a non-tabular panel, such as a print panel. Action characters and overtypes are valid only on tabular panels. A record has exceeded the maximum length of 9999 bytes. Trailing commas are treated as a continuation character. There is an error in the input syntax. For a complete description of the syntax, see Using SDSF in Batch on page 25. Input could not be processed because there are no rows on the panel. This may be because all rows have been filtered out by filters such as FILTER, PREFIX, DEST, and OWNER. An attempt was made to enter an action character, but the NP column is not conditioned for input. The NP column is not conditioned for input on the OD panel. On other tabular panels, the problem may be that there are no rows because all rows have been filtered out by filters such as FILTER, PREFIX, DEST, and OWNER.

The specified column could not be found. Either it is not a valid column for the panel, or the column name is an abbreviation that does not uniquely identify a column on the panel. If the column name is an abbreviation, specify the full column name. An attempt has been made to overtype a column that is not overtypeable. If the column is a valid overtypable column for the panel, it may be that the user is not authorized for that column either through ISFPARMS or SAF. Brackets with no column or value, that is < >, were entered on a tabular panel. This syntax is valid only on non-tabular panels such as the print panels. An overtype with no column name, that is <=value> was entered on a tabular panel. This syntax is valid only on non-tabular panels such as the print panels. An attempt has been made to overtype the fixed field. The fixed field is not overtypeable. The input could not be processed because there were no rows on the screen. This may be because all rows have been filtered out by filters such as FILTER, PREFIX, DEST, and OWNER. There is an error in the input syntax. For a complete description of the syntax, see Using SDSF in Batch on page 25.

Explanation: The SR panel has been accessed while AMRF (Action Message Retention Facility) is not active. When AMRF is not active, the panel does not include action messages. Only reply messages are shown.

| Response: None required. AMRF is controlled by the | AMRF parameter in PARMLIB member CONSOLxx.
ARR CRITERIA DISCARDED Explanation: SDSF detected that the arrange criteria that had been saved from a previous session is invalid. The arrange criteria were deleted from your ISPF profile. Response: Use the Arrange pop-up or the ARRANGE command to rearrange columns. ARRANGE CRITERIA OBSOLETE Explanation: One or more of the columns saved from a previous arrange command has been removed from the ISFPARMS definition for this panel. A column might have been removed because of security changes, release migration, or customization of the field lists. Response: Look at the INVALID COLUMN message displayed in the message line to see the number of obsolete columns. ARRANGE PENDING Explanation: You selected a column or block of columns but didnt enter the destination for it. Response: Scroll the list to the desired column and mark the destination by typing a or b next to it. AUTHORIZED DEST REQUIRED Explanation: During SDSF initialization or DEST command processing, SDSF did not find any authorized destination names. You are not authorized to access all destinations, therefore, a valid destination list, specified by IDEST in ISFPARMS, is required. This message also appears in response to a destination query command (DEST ?) if no destination names are authorized. Response: Enter the DEST command specifying one or more authorized destinations. Notify the SDSF or security administrator regarding the ISF005I messages issued during session initialization. AUTHORIZED DESTINATION REQUIRED. PRESS THE HELP KEY FOR MORE INFORMATION. Explanation: This message corresponds to the current AUTHORIZED DEST REQUIRED message, and is

BLOCK COMMAND INCOMPLETE Explanation: You entered a block command but did not close it (the beginning of a block has been marked with //, but the end has not been marked with //). SDSF does not process pending actions until you close the block. Response: Close the open block, or use the RESET command to cancel all pending actions. BLOCK COMMAND INVALID Explanation: You entered data both on the first and last rows of the block you want to repeat. Only the first or last row of the block can contain data. Response: Blank out the changes on either the first or last row of the block, or use the RESET command to cancel all pending actions. BLOCK INPUT REQUIRED Explanation: You entered a block command but didnt specify the action character or overtype. The first row of the block is made current to allow you to enter the action character or overtype to be repeated throughout the block. Response: Specify the action character or overtype on either on the first or last row of the block or use the RESET command to cancel all pending actions. BLOCK IS INCOMPLETE Explanation: You marked the beginning of a block with //, but the end has not been marked with //. Response: Mark the end of the block with //. BOOKMANAGER IS REQUIRED Explanation: The command or pull-down choice requires BookManager READ/MVS. Response: Blank out the command or pull-down choice.

The message text contains the decimal return code from the ISPF select service used to invoke the BOOKMGR command. Response: Ensure that the BookManager product is installed and available to your SDSF session, and then retry the BOOK command. *BOTTOM OF DATA REACHED* Explanation: A FIND command reached the bottom of the data without finding the requested character string. Response: Use the Repeat-Find PF key, or enter an F on the command line, to resume the search at the top of the data. BRIF ERROR RC=return-code Explanation: An unexpected error occurred during invocation of the ISPF browse service. The message contains the decimal return-code from ISPF. SDSF terminates the browse request. Response: See OS/390 ISPF Services Guide for a description of the error codes for ISPF. BROWSE NOT AVAILABLE Explanation: The SB action character was entered to browse a data set using ISPF, but either SDSF is not running under ISPF or the ISPF level is insufficient. Instead, SDSF does the browse. Response: Reenter the SB action character when running under the required level of ISPF. CANNOT MOVE FIXED FIELD Explanation: You have attempted to move the fixed field with the ARRANGE command. ARRANGE can be used to move columns after the fixed field, but the fixed field itself cannot be moved. Response: None number CHARS 'string' Explanation: In response to a FIND ALL command on the ODS panel or the logs, a number of occurrences of a character string have been found. If SDSF finds more than 999,999 occurrences, number is displayed as 999999+. The cursor is positioned on the character string. Response: None.

CHARS 'string' FOUND Explanation: In response to a FIND command, a character string has been found. The cursor is positioned on the character string. Response: None. number CHARS 'string' FOUND Explanation: In response to a FIND ALL command a number of occurrences of a character string has been found. If SDSF finds more than 9,999 occurrences, number is displayed as 9999+. The cursor is positioned on the character string. Response: None. CHECKPOINT OUT OF DATE Explanation: A checkpoint version has been obtained, but the data might not be current. This can indicate that JES2 is down or not responding. The panel is built using the old data. Response: Retry the request. If the problem persists, contact your system programmer to determine the cause of the out-of-date data. CHECKPOINT READ ERROR Explanation: An error occurred when SDSF attempted to read from the checkpoint data set in order to determine a users authority to issue a command. Response: Retry the command. If the problem persists, contact the system programmer. CHOICE NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS PANEL Explanation: The pull-down choice is not available on the current SDSF panel. Response: Use the HELP PF key for information on the pull-down choice. CKPT OBT ERR return-code-reason-code Explanation: An error has occurred obtaining a checkpoint version. In the message text, return-code is the hexadecimal SSI return code from SSOBRETN and reason-code is the hexadecimal reason code from field SSJIRETN. The version is not obtained.

ERROR PROCESSING DATA Explanation: SDSF could not successfully process the spool control blocks of one of the jobs on the panel. Response: The user or system programmer could use one of the filter commands to identify which job is causing the problem. For example, the users panel shows these jobs: ABLEJOB ABLEBJOB ANDJOB BJOB BBBJOB CJOB The user issues PREFIX A*, and the panel shows these jobs: ABLEJOB ABLEBJOB ANDJOB The error message still appears on the panel, so the problem is with one of the three jobs shown. The user then issues a second PREFIX command, PREFIX ABLE*. The panel then shows: ABLEJOB ABLEBJOB The error message no longer appears on the panel. The user knows that the problem is not with ABLEJOB or ABLEBJOB; the problem must be with ANDJOB.

Response: Enter the field using numeric data. Within a tabular panel, use the RESET command to clear any overtyped data. FILE SIZE NOT AVAILABLE Explanation: A request has been made to view a data set, but the file size (in bytes) is not available from JES2. The file size is required by SDSF to allocate the temporary file used by GDDM. The data set is not composed. Response: The file size for data sets is not available while a job is active. If the view request is for a job currently in execution, retry the request after the job ends. Otherwise, determine the reason for the missing file size. FILTER CRIT DISCARDED Explanation: SDSF detected that the filter criteria that had been saved from a previous session are invalid. The filter criteria were deleted from your ISPF profile. Response: Use the Filter pop-up or FILTER command to define filters.

FILTER CRITERIA OBSOLETE Explanation: One or more of the columns saved from a previous session has been removed from the ISFPARMS definition for this panel. A column might have been removed because of security changes, release migration, or customization of the field lists. The obsolete filter criteria are deleted. SDSF filtered the columns using the remaining columns. Look at the INVALID COLUMN message displayed in the message line to see the number of obsolete columns. Response: No action is required. FILTER VALUE TRUNCATED Explanation: A filter value entered with a previous command exceeds the 25-character length of the value field on the Filter pop-up. The value is truncated to fit the field. Response: None required. To change the value, type the changes on the pop-up. GDDM ERROR severity-msgnumber Explanation: An error occurred during execution of a GDDM service. severity is the severity code, in decimal, of the message; msgnumber is the GDDM message number in decimal. The request to view a data set is ended. Other explanatory messages might have been issued by GDDM to the terminal user. Response: Correct the error described by the GDDM message text and retry the view request. GDDM error codes and their explanations can be found in GDDM Messages. GDDM LEVEL ERR gddm-level Explanation: The view function was requested, but the installed level of GDDM cannot be used by SDSF. gddm-level is the level of GDDM currently being accessed by SDSF. SDSF requires GDDM Version 2 Release 2 or a later release. Response: The system programmer should ensure that the correct level of GDDM is available to the SDSF session either through a STEPLIB or the system LINKLST. GDDM NOT AVAILABLE Explanation: SDSF was unable to load the GDDM interface module, ADMASPT, in response to a view request to compose a page-mode data set. The view function is not available because GDDM services cannot be used. Response: The system programmer should ensure

Response: Specify a cataloged data set name that is on a supported tape unit. INPUT FILE ALLOC FAILED Explanation: An error occurred trying to allocate the input file to be composed. Additional messages describing the reason for the allocation failure is issued by the system. The file cannot be viewed using GDDM since it cannot be allocated. Response: Contact your system programmer to determine the cause of the error. INPUT INVALID WITH BLOCK Explanation: An action character or overtype was entered within an open block. Data to be repeated can only be entered on the first or last row of the block. The display is positioned to the row containing the data within the block. Response: Blank out the data on the row or enter the RESET command to cancel all pending actions.

INPUT INVALID WITHIN BLOCK Explanation: You entered one or more characters within a block on the pop-up. Response: Erase the character. INVALID CALL TYPE Explanation: During initialization, SDSF found an error processing the ISFNTBL macro named in the IDEST parameter of the ISFGRP macro for the user. The ISFGRP macro is in the ISFPARMS module. Response: The system programmer should check the ISFNTBL macro named in the IDEST parameter of the ISFGRP macro that was used to place the user in a user group. The ISFGRP macro is described in OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security. The system programmer might also want to put the installation-defined names last in the ISFNTBL macros, as the installation-defined names can be the most likely to cause an error. When SDSF encounters an error in the destination names during initialization, it continues initialization with the destination names that were successfully processed before the error. INVALID CLASS class ENTERED Explanation: An invalid class was entered with the ST, I, or O command. The class is ignored.

Response: Either restore or delete the field, or type RESET on the command line. NO sysid SYSLOG FOUND Explanation: No SYSLOG data has been found on any queue for system sysid. sysid is the JES2 system name entered on the SYSID command. This could be because:

134

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

v Maintenance was applied to JES2 and SDSF was not reassembled. v During the assembly of SDSF, a SYS1.HASPSRC data set that does not match the running system was used as a concatenation to the SYSLIB DD statement. v SMP was used to install SDSF, and maintenance was applied to JES2 but not accepted. As a result, SDSF might be pointing to the wrong SMPMTS data set. v You are printing the SYSLOG. v You entered sysid incorrectly on the SYSID command. Response: The system programmer should determine which of the problems listed above is causing the message to be issued, and correct the problem. Printing of the SYSLOG is controlled by the HARDCPY parameter of member IEASYS00 in SYS1.PARMLIB. If the SYSLOG is being printed, change the HARDCPY parameter in IEASYS00 and start the log to a SYSLOG data set by issuing these MVS commands: W START V SYSLOG,HARDCPY,CMDS,ROUT=ALL NO ACTIVE SYSLOG Explanation: No active SYSLOG data set was found for the specified system ID. Response: To see if there is an active SYSLOG, the system programmer or the operator should select the DA panel, use S in the NP column to display the output data sets for the job with the name *MASTER*, and then browse the output data sets for an active SYSLOG task. Two possible explanations for why there is no active SYSLOG are: v JES2 has been stopped and restarted without an IPL. v The SYSLOG is being sent to a printer. To see if the SYSLOG is being sent to a printer, the system programmer should check the HARDCPY parameter in the member named IEASYS00 of SYS1.PARMLIB. To send the SYSLOG to a SYSLOG data set, the system programmer should enter these MVS commands: W START V SYSLOG,HARDCPY,CMDS,ROUT=ALL. NO CHARS 'string' FOUND Explanation: The FIND command could not find the character string string. Response: None.

NO COMMAND PROVIDED Explanation: Command text was not entered with the command on the system command extension pop-up or the / command. Response: None. NO DATA IN DATA SETS Explanation: The data sets for the job that has been selected are all empty data sets. There is no data to browse. Response: None. NO DATA SETS ALLOCATED Explanation: An allocation failure has occurred for each data set in the job to be displayed. Since no data sets were allocated, they cannot be browsed. Additional messages describing the specific allocation failures might have been issued by the system. Response: Use the system messages to determine the reason for the allocation failure and retry the request. NO DATA SETS AUTHORIZED Explanation: An attempt was made to display a job but there is no data set the user is authorized to view. Response: If you have been denied access in error, see User Authorization on page 121 for more information. NO DATA SETS OPENED Explanation: An open failure occurred for each data set in the job to be displayed. Since no data sets were opened, they cannot be browsed. Additional messages can be issued by the system describing the error. Response: Determine the reason for the open failure using the error codes in the message. NO DISPLAYABLE DATA Explanation: A user has attempted to display a jobs SYSOUT data, but the job has no data that can be displayed by that user. Response: Delete the command or type RESET on the command line.

NO HELP AVAILABLE Explanation: SDSF could not show a help panel under TSO because it was unable to allocate or open the SDSF help panel data set. Response: Check that the SDSFMENU data set is allocated to the SDSF help panel library. Check the MENUS and MENUVOL parameters in ISFPARMS to see that they are coded correctly. NO OPERLOG FOUND Explanation: You entered a LOG command to display the OPERLOG panel, but no log stream is available to display. Response: To display the SYSLOG panel, which contains messages for a single system, type LOG S. NO PREFIX 'string' FOUND Explanation: The character string string was not found in response to a FIND command. Response: None. NO PREVIOUS INPUT Explanation: You entered a repeat command, but no modification has yet been done to repeat. Response: Enter an action character or overtype a field prior to using the repeat command. NO RESPONSE FROM RMF Explanation: SDSF has passed the timeout limit awaiting a response from RMF to display the DA panel. Response: Retry the request. To bypass the error, use the SYSNAME command or pull-down choice to limit the number of systems being processed. NO RESPONSE RECEIVED Explanation: The delay interval for a command response or sysplex data had been reached. The command response or data on the SDSF panel is not shown. Response: To see the command response, issue the ULOG command to view the user log. To increase the delay interval, use the SET DELAY command. To increase the delay interval for sysplex data, use the SET TIMEOUT command. You might also try limiting the amount of sysplex data being returned, with one or more of the following: v Parameters on the panel command, for example, PR 1 to see only printer 1. v The SYSNAME command or pull-down choice, to restrict the systems to be included.

v The DEST command or pull-down choice, to restrict the destinations to be included. v The SELECT command, to temporarily restrict the panel based on the fixed field, for example, SELECT PRT33 to see only printer PRT33. Note that the Filter function does not have the effect of limiting the data returned If the problem cannot be corrected with these methods, the operator or system programmer should ensure that one or more SDSF servers has not been stopped by issuing the F server,D,C command. The system programmer should also review the MQSeries configuration, for possible communications problems, as described in OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security. NO SUFFIX 'string' FOUND Explanation: The character string string was not found in response to a FIND command. Response: None. NO SYSLOG DATA Explanation: No SYSLOG data has been found in any SYSLOG data set. Response: Verify that the SYSID command was issued for the proper SYSLOG data set, or that the saved SYSID value is correct. NO WORD 'string' FOUND Explanation: The character string string was not found in response to a FIND command. Response: None. NOT ALLOWED WITH OUTDESC Explanation: A value for forms, process mode, PAGEDEF, or FORMDEF has been entered along with an Output Descriptor Name. Those fields cannot be specified when Output Descriptor Name is used. Response: Delete the value for forms, process mode, PAGEDEF, or FORMDEF if an Output Descriptor Name is to be used. Alternatively, delete the Output Descriptor Name. NOT AUTH TO OPERLOG Explanation: You entered a LOG command to display the OPERLOG panel, but are not authorized to the log stream that is displayed on the OPERLOG panel. Response: To display the SYSLOG panel, which contains messages for a single system, type LOG S.

RMF LOCAL ERR return-code reason-code Explanation: An error occurred during invocation of the RMF ERBSMFI Application Interface. return-code and reason-code are the decimal return and reason codes from the interface. Response: Use the return code and reason code, along with the appropriate RMF documentation, to determine the cause of the error. RMF NOT ENABLED Explanation: An attempt was made to access the DA panel with RMF as the source of the data. RMF is not enabled on your system. Response: None required. The DA panel is displayed with information derived from MVS control blocks rather than RMF. To request that DA use the MVS control blocks rather than RMF, and prevent display of this message, the installation can use the installation exit point of ISFUSER. The installation exit routines are described in SDSF Customization and Security. RMF PLEX ERR return-code reason-code Explanation: An error occurred during invocation of the RMF ERB2XDGS Application Interface. return-code and reason-code are the decimal return and reason codes from the interface. Response: Use the return code and reason code, along with the appropriate RMF documentation, to determine the cause of the error. You can bypass the problem by typing SYSNAME with no operands to see data for the local system. RMF SYSPLEX NOT ACTIVE Explanation: The RMF server is not active. Sysplex data cannot be obtained for the DA display. Response: You can bypass the problem by typing SYSNAME with no operands to see data for the local system. For information about the RMF server, see your system programmer.

| RESPONSE NOT RECEIVED | Explanation: The timeout interval has been reached | before one ore more SDSF servers responded with | data. The data on the SDSF panel is incomplete. | Response: To increase the timeout interval, use the | SET TIMEOUT command or pull-down choice. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
You might also try limiting the amount of sysplex data being returned, with one or more of the following: v Parameters on the panel command, for example, PR 1 to see only printer 1. v The SYSNAME command or pull-down choice, to restrict the systems to be included. v The DEST command or pull-down choice, to restrict the destinations to be included. v The SELECT command, to temporarily restrict the panel based on the fixed field, for example, SELECT PRT33 to see only printer PRT33. Note that the Filter function does not have the effect of limiting the data returned If the problem cannot be corrected with these methods, the operator or system programmer should ensure that one or more SDSF servers has not been stopped by issuing the F server,D,C command. The system programmer should also review the MQSeries configuration, for possible communications problems, as described in OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security. number RESPONSES NOT SHOWN Explanation: An action character or slash command has been entered that results in messages being displayed on the screen, and the number of message responses received exceeds the screen depth. number message responses could not be shown.

OS/390 V2R10.0 SDSF Guide and Reference

SORT CRITERIA OBSOLETE Explanation: During the current SDSF session, this is the first display of this panel. This first display uses sort criteria saved from a previous session. One or both of the saved criteria specify a column name that has been removed from the ISFPARMS definition of this panel. A column might have been removed because of security changes, release migration, or customization of the installation supplied field lists. The obsolete criteria are deleted. If there are any valid sort criteria, the panel is sorted using only the valid criteria. An additional message, INVALID COLUMN, is displayed in the message line and indicates the column name that no longer exists. Response: No action is required. A new SORT command can be issued to establish new sort criteria. See the additional message in the message line for more information. SORT ORDER NOT A OR D Explanation: A SORT command was entered, but the sort order specified is not A (for ascending sort) or D (for descending sort). The cursor is positioned under the operand in error. Response: Correct the command and reenter it. SPOOL DATA ERROR Explanation: The spool data for a job became invalid while the jobs SYSOUT data was being displayed. This might occur if the job was purged or if the SYSOUT data was selected from the DA panel and the job was swapped out. Response: Try displaying the SYSOUT later. If the job was active and swapped out, the SYSOUT is accessible. If the job was purged, the SYSOUT will not be found. SPOOL RECORD ERROR Explanation: A spool record in a SYSLOG data set became invalid. This usually means that the SYSLOG data that was being displayed just finished printing. Response: Leave the SYSLOG panel (with the END command or PF key) and then reaccess it (with LOG). SSI RETURN CODE return-code Explanation: A subsystem interface (SSI) return code of return-code was issued when a user tried to requeue an output group from the H panel or the JDS panel or tried to overtype a field on the OD panel. Response: The system programmer should see one of the following return codes:

4 8 12 16 20

Messages with Message Numbers

This section describes messages issued by SDSF with message numbers. A letter following the message number indicates the severity of the message: I W Information. Warning. The command will be processed, or the ISFPARMS will be activated. For ISFPARMS, SDSF has found an inconsistency and may have changed a value for a parameter. Error. A command will not be processed, or the ISFPARMS will not be activated.
data set, the data set contains an error and should be purged from the spool. ISF002I MASTER SYSLOG INDEX FULL

ISF001I

ERROR PROCESSING SYSLOG Sdata-set-number

Explanation: An error occurred while reading the spool control blocks for the SYSLOG data set data-set-number. The SYSLOG data set has an invalid control block structure. This might be because SDSF cannot access a SYSLOG data set, either because the data set contains an error, or because the data set is not a spin data set. Response: To determine whether the problem is with the SYSLOG data set, use SDSF to locate the data set and attempt to browse it. If SDSF cannot browse the

Explanation: The SDSF SYSLOG index master index record is full. This is because the number of SYSLOG data sets on the output queue is larger than can be accommodated by the block size of the index. Response: The system programmer should either print some of the SYSLOG data sets or increase the block size specified in the IDBLKS parameter of the ISFPMAC macro in ISFPARMS.

Chapter 4. SDSF Messages and Codes

If the problem persists, the system programmer should: 1. Issue W CLOSE to stop the SYSLOG. 2. Purge the SYSLOG data sets. 3. Issue these commands to restart the SYSLOG task and avoid a re-IPL: W START V SYSLOG,HARDCPY,ROUT=ALL ISF003I NEEDED SPOOL VOLUME NOT OPEN

When the job that is causing the error has been identified, try processing the job without SDSF. If JES2 cannot process the job successfully, the error might be with the job and not SDSF. ISF005I INVALID IDEST FOR userid entry reason

Explanation: During initialization for userid, SDSF found an error processing entry in the ISFNTBL macro named in the IDEST parameter of the ISFGRP macro. The ISFGRP macro is in the ISFPARMS module. The values for reason are: INVALID CALL means that a logic error exists in SDSF. Follow your local procedure for calling IBM. Have the following documentation of the problem ready: v A description of the panel being used and the operation being performed when the message was received v A record of the message INVALID DEST means that the destination name is invalid for this system. If the name is an installation-defined name, the error could be caused by the JES2 system not being active during the installation of SDSF. NAME NOT AUTH At SDSF initialization, SDSF found the user was not authorized to access one or more destination names specified in the ISFNTBL macro for the IDEST parameter in the users ISFGRP macro. If both the IDEST and DEST parameters are coded, the destination names in the IDEST ISFNTBL macro must also be in the DEST ISFNTBL macro in order for the user to be authorized. If this is not the problem, a logic error might exist in SDSF. Follow your local procedure for calling IBM and have the following documentation of the problem ready: v A description of the panel being used and the operation being performed when the message was received v A record of the message nnnn NOT SPECIFIED During SDSF initialization or DEST command processing, SDSF did not find any authorized destination names. The user is not authorized to access all destinations, therefore, a valid authorized destination list is required. nnnn is the number of destinations. This message also appears in response to a destination query command (DEST ?) if no destination names are authorized. The system programmer or security administrator should either add an IDEST parameter to the users ISFGRP macro, or authorize the user to access the ISFOPER.ANYDEST.jesx resource. If these

Explanation: A spool volume required by SDSF cannot be opened. This might be due to an invalid spool pointer, an allocation failure, or an unavailable spool volume. Additional messages might have been issued by the system to describe the error. Response: If an allocation error occurred, use the system messages to determine the cause of the error. If the spool volume is not available, contact the system operator to mount the spool volume. ISF004I I/O ERROR ON SPOOL READ

Explanation: An I/O error occurred while attempting to read a spool record. This can be caused by a logic error in SDSF or might be due to a control block error in a job being processed. Response: If the problem is with a job that is being processed, the operator can use a filter command to identify which job is causing the problem. For example, the operator brings up an SDSF panel with these jobs: ABLEJOB ABLEBJOB ANDJOB BJOB BBBJOB CJOB The operator issues PREFIX A*, and the panel shows these jobs: ABLEJOB ABLEBJOB ANDJOB The error message still appears on the panel, so the problem is with one of the three jobs shown. The operator then issues a second PREFIX command, PREFIX ABLE*. The panel then shows: ABLEJOB ABLEBJOB The error message no longer appears on the panel. The operator knows that the problem is not with ABLEJOB or ABLEBJOB; the problem must be with ANDJOB.

conditions are not met, the users destination filter is set to blanks or the character string QQQQ, and no jobs appear on the panels. OFFSET NOT ZERO means that the number specified after the destination name in the ISFNTBL macro is not 1. This number must be 1 in ISFNTBL macros that are named in the IDEST parameter. TOO MANY DESTS means that more than four destination names were specified. No more than four destination names can be specified in ISFNTBL macros that are named in the IDEST parameter. Response: The system programmer should check the ISFNTBL macros named in the IDEST parameter of the users ISFGRP macro. The ISFGRP macro is described in OS/390 SDSF Customization and Security. The system programmer might also want to put the installation-defined names last in the ISFNTBL macros, as the installation-defined names can be the most likely to cause an error. When SDSF encounters an error in the destination names during initialization, it continues initialization with the destination names that were successfully processed before the error.

120 Checkpoint version error 124 Subsystem not defined ISF007I CAN NOT FIND MASTER CHECKPOINT RECORD

Explanation: An error occurred during SDSF initialization attempting to obtain checkpoint data from subsystem-name. The error-code contains the reason for the failure and is listed below. If the error occurred processing a checkpoint version, reason-code indicates the return code (SSJIRETN) from the checkpoint version obtain request. Response: Use the return and reason codes to diagnose the error. 4 Bad option passed 8 Not in an authorized state 12 Different JES2 system 16 Requested address space identifier not valid 20 Requested address space identifier not a TSO user 24 JES2 not active 28 Bad job key 32 SRB abend 36 Parameter invalid 40 User swapped out 44 ISFLPA subroutine not available

Explanation: The master checkpoint record failed a validity check. This could be because: v Maintenance was applied to JES2, and SDSF was not reassembled. v During the assembly of SDSF, a SYS1.HASPSRC data set used in the SYSLIB concatenation does not match the JES2 system being processed. v SMP/E was used to install SDSF, and maintenance was applied to JES2 and not accepted, and the SMPMTS data set is not the first data set in the SYSLIB concatenation. Response: The system programmer should determine which of the problems listed above is causing the message to be issued, and correct the problem.
