Creating a Filter to View Datasets

Much like the JES Explorer, the MVS Explorer view allows you to create filters against dataset names. You can create any number of filters to allow you to view only the datasets you are interested in. All filters respect the RAC/F rules you have defined on your mainframe.

In the Remote System pane, right-click MVS Explorer, point to New and click Filter.

The New Filter screen appears.
Enter a filter string in the format shown below, substituting MYUSER for your mainframe user ID, then click Next.
Enter a name for the filter, then click Finish.

The filter displays any datasets under your user ID, as well as the tutorial datasets.

In this case, the filter shows a number of PDSs containing source files. You can also view a PDS in table view within the IDE. Table view allows you to see more information for each dataset.
Right-click My Datasets and choose Show in Table. A table view appears in the bottom pane, which provides DCB information for each dataset.
In MVS Explorer, expand the BANKDEMO.COBOL dataset.
Right-click BBANK10P and choose Browse. The module, which is stored on the mainframe, is opened as read-only in the Eclipse IDE.
