>S command

The >S command provides a mechanism to transfer a table name containing hex characters from the LT command output to the table name field so another command (GD or CL, for example) can be invoked against it. Preceded by the LT command, >S requires that line 1 contain the REF# for the table identified in the LT command output. The command will copy the table identified by this REF# to the “TABLE:” field on the command line.

For example, the LT command provides a list of tables in the TSR:

Figure 102. A list of tables in the TSR, as seen via the LT command

If you want to edit or browse a table in this list, but it contains non-displayable characters, use the >S command. In the example below, the table Ref# is entered onto Line 1:

The following messages are possible using the >S command: 

LT LIST NAME COPIED TO "TABLE" FIELD

The LT list was successfully copied to the “TABLE:” field on the command line.

 
REF# PROVIDED NOT ON LT LIST

The reference numbers provided on line 1 do not exist on the LT list.

 
LT LIST NOT FOUND

The LT command was not executed before doing the >S command.

 
INVALID REF# ON LINE 1

The reference number entered on line 1 is not a numeric field.
