Hi All,

I am running SDSF through REXX. In the program i am filtering on basis of Job Id.
Actually when we do a FIND using Job Name, the cursor is placed in NP column and we can directly use "++?" or "++S". But when we do a select or filter on job number the cursor is still in command line, which i need to move to NP column so that i can use "++?".
Any Idea how to do it.

SELECT (S) seems to ring a bell

Hi Expat,

SELECT didn't ring any bell.......
if you are asking me to use select instead of filter, then i already tried it. Its not working.

Take a look at THIS previous thread that is quite similar.

Hi Expat,

I had a look at the thread, i see that you have used FIND. FIND is working, but then my requirement is to filter based on JOB Number, because it will be unique, and FIND doesn't work for Job Number.

Yes, I do know that FIND does not work for job number, hence the solution in the linked thread uses both job name and number.

If you do not have the jobname then you will have to filter/select on the job number, parse the output back to REXX to find the jobname and then re enter SDSF to use both to get the desired output.

That thread gives you a viable work around, whether you take that route or not is entirely up to you.
