Adding a new entry to a data set list

There are three ways you can add a new entry to a data set list:

  • Overtype an existing entry on the list

    For an existing entry on the data set list, overtype the details with new information. If necessary, you can also enter new details on any blank lines.

  • Editing the list
    1. Use the REFL fastpath command or the Process drop-down menu to display the data set list you want to edit on the Personal Data Set List panel.
    2. Enter the E (Extended Edit) line command to display the Edit Personal Data Set List panel.
    3. Type in the details of the new data set entry. When you are adding a new entry to a data set list, you might find the following line commands useful:
      I
      Insert a list entry
      R
      Repeat a list entry
  • Using the REFA fastpath command

    Use the REFA fastpath command to add the name of the data set (and associated information) most recently referenced by the function entry panel to the specified data set list.

    For example:
    REFA NEWLIST
    adds the name of the data set most recently referenced by the function entry panel to the data set list, NEWLIST.

    The list name must begin with an alphabetic character, followed by any valid alphanumeric character for a total length of up to 8 characters. If the specified list name does not exist, Z Data Tools creates it.
