Answering the following may help obtain an alternative solution. Running as a batch job may help as well. I can not help with File-Aid, and having that as a restriction may limit things as well. This can be used to give the selection criteria temporarily; after we exit the browse it will not be there.

But if want we can save this temporary criteria to use it in further browsing. Give T in the selection criteria option and press enter it takes you to the below selection criteria main menu. Selection Criteria Options 1. Option: Better to keep this with default options as shown below. If we want we can limit the result set by using the below options. Here we can specify our selection criteria, the above example shows only one criterion, but it can be specified for all the remaining variables as well.

After giving the selection criteria press F3, it takes you to the previous screen Selection criteria Menu , there you can save these criteria for future use or you can just press F3 to display the results.

Here the advantage is once we have specified the selection criteria as specified above, we can also save it to the PDS members so that when we want to browse the dataset with same selection criteria, we can just specify the PDS and member name in the main browse screen as shown below:. If we want to Modify the previous selection criteria we can do it M Modify option.
