ISPF generates statistics each time you edit a member, unless your
edit profile is set to
STATS OFF. The fields shown
identify the statistics in a member list:
Note: The column headers
on a member list display (with the exception of Prompt) are point-and-shoot
sort fields.
- Name
- Name
of the member.
- Prompt
- The Prompt field serves a variety of purposes. You can rename
a member by typing the new name to the right of the member name. You
can type a slash character (/) in the first position of the Prompt
field so you can define additional behaviors for a given action.
Also,
the Prompt field acts as a status field, showing information about
the last action taken for a member. If you run an edit macro or TSO
command against a member, the 7-character informational status that
is returned in the dialog variable ZPROMPT at the completion of the
service is shown in this field.
- Lib
- Library
number. The Lib field appears only if you specify a concatenated sequence
of libraries. It shows the library that contains the member. In this
example, if the member resides in the second library in the sequence,
a 2 appears in the Lib field.
- VV.MM
- Version
number and modification level. The version number is set to 1 and
the modification level is set to 0 when the member is created. The
modification level is the number of times this version has been modified.
For example, 02.15 means version 2, modification
15.
If a member name is just an alternate name for another member,
ALIAS appears in this field.
- Created
- Date
this version was created. The format used depends on your national
format. For example, 90/06/27 means June 27, 1990
to some, but so does 06/27/90 and 27/06/90 mean
it for others.
- Changed
- Date
and time this version was last modified; date is shown in the national
format. Time is shown using a 24-hour format. For example, 17:20 means
5:20 p.m..
- Size
- Current
number of lines. The largest number this field can display is 65 535.
- Init
- Number of
lines when the member was first saved. The largest number this field
can display is 65 535.
- Mod
- Number of
lines in the current member that have been added or changed. If the
data is unnumbered, this number is zero. The largest number this field
can display is 65 535.
- ID
- The user ID
of the person who created or last updated this version.
When you use View, Browse, and Edit, the current version and modification
level are displayed in the title area, line 1, following the library
and member name. You can change the version number, the user ID, or
both, with the Reset ISPF Statistics utility (option 3.5) or with
the LEVEL and VERSION Edit primary commands. Changing the version
number updates most of the other statistics.
If you use the ISPF editor to delete all lines in a member of an
ISPF library and then save the member, the statistics show that the
member still exists but has a length of zero. To delete a member,
including its statistics, use the Library utility (3.1).
