Include the message in SAVE LIST

Hello all,

After opening a PDS, when we say "SAVE LIST", all my members and their parameters are saved in <RACFID>.LIST.MEMBERS.

but, this dataset(RACFID.LIST.MEMBERS) is the missing the "MESSAGE" column.

Say,

when I do SRCHFOR in a PDS, I might listed with few members as message "FOUND". Now I need to save this message also in the list members, but "SAVE LIST" option couldnt retrieve this data.

Is there a way, we can include the "message" also in the "LIST" output?

Please help me.

Not sure about "SAVE LIST" however, the value for the Prompt field shows the 7-character informational status after the completion of the service. And if you run an edit macro or TSO command against a member, the 7-character informational status is available via the dialog variable ZPROMPT.

If you just need the list of member which has string ? why not use 3.14 option and execute it in a batch and store the output in a dataset?

1000+ at 20+ lines per screen - 40+ with the right parameters - is about 50 cut'n'pastes. I've done worse - just be prepared to be bored. It is work after all so you are getting paid for it.

Use the macro facility of your emulator...

HI Madprasy,
If I understood your requirement correctly, you don't need to do cut-past n number of times Here is an easier way to achieve it.

a) After you used SRCHFOR inside the PDS and before you are going to save using SAVE LIST, bring your cursor to the PROMPT (under which the message FOUND is there) and press ENTER.

b) Now all your members which have the needed 'string' will be coming first in ascending order (say list1), followed by the ones that do not have the needed 'string' in ascending order (say list2).

c) Now enter SAVE LIST. Your USERID.LIST.MEMBERS will have the same order mentioned in point b)

d) Open your USERID.LIST.MEMBERS in Edit mode. Mark the label as .a in the beginning of (the first member) the list1 and Mark the label as .b in the end of the (last member) of the list1.

e) Now type C ALL P'=====' 'FOUND' 21 25 .A .B

You will get your desired result (21-25 positions will be filled with FOUND characters).

If you want the order to be same as that of the one in PDS, you can sort this file, taking your member names as key.

If this is not what you want, let us know for more details.
