Member List - Add Block Line Commands

Allow Member List line commands to be entered in blocks.

A block of line commands is marked by entering two forward slash
characters (//) at the start and end of the block.

The required line command is entered on the first or last line of the
block, immediately following the two forward slash characters.

For example, the user would be able to tab down to a member at the top of the directory and type in "//B", then tab down a few members and type in "//". This would Browse the block of members.

Basically, what I am asking for, is to provide the same capability as what is currently available to the user form ISPF 3.4 Data Set List Screen and SDSF.

    I looked at doing this for CUCI, but any changes to the member list dynamic area were ignored by the program running the member list. IBM must satisfy this RFE.

    Great requirement. I'd like to see an expandable selection field on the extended member list so that commands greater than 6 characters and commands with parms can be entered.
