Fields of the Show Screen Filter Window

The Show Screen Filter window contains the following fields:

Table 63 Fields of the Show Screen Filter Window

Field

Description

Filter

User-assigned name of the filter.

The name entered in the Filter field may be modified.

If there are unsaved changes to a filter in memory (discussed in Closing the Show Screen Filter window), an asterisk appears to the right of the filter name.

Save (Y/N)

Specifies whether to save modifications to the filter upon closing the window.

Desc:

User-defined description of the filter. The description entered here appears next to the name in the Display Filters window.

The fields listed in Table 64 define the selection criteria to be applied to the screen. Fill in these selection criteria as desired.

Note: The selection criteria shown in Table 64 marked with the symbol P support masking. For more information, see Character Masking.

For compatibility with versions prior to version 6.2.xx, the SACTMSK profile variable can be used to specify how to treat character search criteria that do not use masking characters. The default setting (Y) results in Control-M treating all character search criteria as if a masking character was entered. For example, if AB was entered as a member name to be searched, by default this entry is treated as AB*.

Table 64 Show Screen Filter Window Selection Criteria

Criterion

Description

MemnameP

Show only jobs of the specified member name. A maximum of five member names may be specified.

TableP

Show only jobs of the specified table. A maximum of two tables may be specified.

TblP

Show only specified tables in the scheduling library. The scheduling library table name refers to the SCHDTAB field in the 3.Z screen. A maximum of two tables may be specified.

Note: For each table created in version 7.0 and later, the scheduling library table name is the same as the SMART Table name. However, in earlier versions, the scheduling library table name can be different than the SMART Table name, see General Information for MEMNAME.

status

Select only jobs that conform to the status selection criteria. Statuses are divided into three groups under the following headings: In Process, Ended, and State.

The following logic applies to these headings:

  • Typing Y in the column heading enables further filtering of jobs on a status-by-status basis. Typing Y in a field in this column enables all jobs with this status to be shown, while typing N in a field in this column prevents jobs with this status from being shown.
  • Typing N in the column heading filters out any job with a status listed under that heading, even if the status is marked Y or S.

The following logic applies to the fields under these headings:

  • N/Y – If all status selection criteria are set to Y, all jobs and tables are displayed. Specifying a value of N for a specified status selection causes the tables and jobs for the specified status selection criteria not to be displayed. For example, if JCL Error is set to N, jobs that ended, or did not run, because of a JCL error are not displayed.

    Note that status selection criteria Y can be used to select jobs and tables on a very limited basis because of the interaction between different status selection criteria being set to Y.   For example, in order to select all executing Late jobs, you must specify Executing=Y, FREE=Y, and Late=Y. However, this will cause all executing jobs to be displayed–even those that are not late.

  • S – Select jobs to be displayed. Specifying a value of S for a specified status selection causes the tables and jobs for the specified status selection criteria to be displayed. Note that specifying a value of N for a specified status selection causes the tables and jobs for the specified status selection criteria not to be displayed. For example, to see only jobs and tables that are LATE and are executing, set LATE to S, set ENDED OK to N, set NOT OK to N, and set all other status selection criteria to Y.
