SDSF

Showing 47 of 3737

Have a profile option to suppress blank lines when viewing any SYSOUT dataset

Some sysout datasets have too many blank lines. In a 80-char 43-line screen, a condensed view (no blank lines) would present more useful data on the screen and not require excessive scrolling.

Allow SDSF to do a SETSYS to any LPAR in any SYSPLEX in your enterprise for commands and displays.

A User can be Logged on to one SYSTEM and then do a SETSYS to another LPAR in a different or same SYSPLEX and have full SDSF capability with full user access. This would be very useful and beneficial in enabling the user to get to any LPAR rapidly...

increase precission of percentage values on PAGe data sets panel

To have the ODTitle field as an option to the OFLDS

Our printing team manages output utilizing the ODTitle among other fields which was available with the Q command in z/OS V2.4 but removed in V.5 in favor of the JDS panel. They utilize the O panel more than the JDS panel to accomplish their workload.
