Submitting build requests using the View Files List panel

TSO Client provides three commands for submitting build requests from the View Files List panel.

Before you begin

The build commands for the View Files List panel operate on JCL files or makefiles. These files are mapped to partitioned data sets that are different from the data sets to which source files are mapped. To open the View Files List panel:
  1. On the option line of the TSO Client Main Menu, type 4.
  2. On the left side of the Dataset Action panel, under DSLIST, type s beside a JCL or makefile data set. The View Files List panel opens with a list of files in the selected data set.
