Dataset Manager

[vickypunjabi4]

I want to create a REXX tool, which can save name of some datasets for a particular user in a panel with nos.
Like:
1. ABC.DEF.VVV
2. SWE.DRF.FFGT
3. KJIUU.FFF.HGHTG

every time a user opens this panel and presses a particular no that data set should open. this panel should have different data for different users so that user can save most commonly used dataset name for them and open it very quickly.

Please suggest the a way to go about it.

Read the help for, I think, 3.4. Or read the manuals for personal dataset lists. Do not bother re-inventing the wheel - you will probably only make it square instead of round.

Not quite the same, but you can also use ISPF option 2. Set a PF key to NRETRIEV and put the cursor on the 'Name' field and press the PF key. It will retrieve the names of the previously used datasets, one name at a time.
