Locate the rules shown in the above example in the list of rules on your screen.

Note: creen, you can press the standard PF07/PF19 (UP) and PF08/PF20 (DOWN) keys to scroll forward and backward through the list of rules.

By default, only member names are listed on the screen. However, if the default has been modified at time of installation, statistical information is displayed for each member name, as shown in the screen example above.

The screen has several options for performing functions on any of the rules displayed. These options are shown at the bottom of the screen, including:

• S (SELECT) – Select a rule to update
• B (BROWSE) – Select a rule to browse
• D (DELETE) – Delete a rule
• I (INSERT) – Insert a new rule, which is a copy of an existing rule
• N (NEW) – Create a new rule
