Re: Want to see the DS raw, not just the subfields

I agree with the FIND thing - it's always bugged me (oops, slip of the 
brain there!).

If you want, you can enter a requirement on the COMMON site to this 
effect. Requirements are under the community tab there - you do need a 
COMMON login but not a membership. Some of us on these lists are or have 
been on the advisory council that vets these requirements. IBM listen to 
these because they are looked at by a user council, not just submitted 
by individuals as DCRs are - the latter are also important, so please 
keep doing those.

There might be support for such a requirement in the WRKLNK interface - 
when you display an IFS file, you can enter a value on the command line 
and hit F16 - it finds the value if it's there.

Another irritation in debug is using the TOP command - if you are not on 
the command line when you press enter, it doesn't do anything - maybe 
that's true of all the commands - function key versions don't require 
that positioning, of course.
