ISPF 3.14 like support in the UI

[johntgatesjr]

Description of the enhancement requested

Support for ISPF 3.14 in the GUI to allow searches across multiple members of a PDS for a variable and such. Note we want a native Search feel. Ie. We don’t want ISPF look and feel or logic. Requested behavior is:

• Select multiple PDS members.
• Right click on the selected members.
• Click Search from a drop down box.
• A search box is presented for what we’re searching for.
• Fill in the search box and press OK.
• Scrollable results are presented in context.
• Click on a search hit in the result set and the gui takes us there.

This item is more related to Zowe Explorer than Z Open Editor, but I leave this one here as an enhancement request as these are great use cases.

Thanks. Explorer and Editor are tied so closely together it is difficult to tell where to report the problem.

Hi,

Members of PDS are not locally present in VS Code, so search for string can’t be done in VS Code workspace. This need an action on remote z/OS, by a Zowe-z/OSMF or RSE function. Even a native function (wich does’nt exists to date) or a call to a TSO or ISPF function.

Look at « superc » command invocation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=overview-how-directly-invoke-superc-search
