User Instructions

Enter the library and volume (for file display) or the volume alone (for library display). You may also select the mode used by the DISPLAY utility (PRINT or DATA). Press (RETURN) after making your selection, or press PF(16) to exit without displaying any files.

If you selected the LIBRARY option, the libraries for the volume will be displayed in alphabetical order. Use the (TAB) key to get to the library you wish to examine and press (RETURN) to see the files within that library.

From the list of files within a library, (TAB) to the file to be displayed and press (RETURN) to display the file. You may also press PF(08) to scratch the file, PF(02) to see the first screen, PF(03) to see the last screen, PF(04) to see the previous screen, PF(05) to see the next screen, or PF(06) to exit.

Programmer Instructions

The libraries or files to be displayed and the display option can be controlled from the INPUT screen; all subsequent screens must be run interactively.

The INPUT screen allows selection of the range of files or libraries and the display option. No other GETPARMs are used.

INPUT       Press (RETURN) to continue or PF(16) to exit
            without processing.

  LIBRARY   [spoolib]   The location of the library to
  VOLUME    [spoolvol]  be displayed.  To display a list of
                        libraries on a volume, leave the
                        LIBRARY field blank.

  PRINT     P           Invokes PRINT mode of the DISPLAY
                        utility.  Change to D to use the
                        RECORD ("(D)ata") display mode.

Example of use

Set up for immediate use as a print file management utility. The use of the PRINT mode in DISPLAY limits the options the user must control; use the DATA option with data libraries for more options.

Comments

Designed to be used best for print libraries. Doesn't display the create date or allow print queueing like DISPRINT, but does show the files in alphabetical order.
