The following options are available when working with the Message Log. Type the option number in the Opt column against the required message.

Select job

Use option 1=Select job to display a subsetted list of messages sent by the same job that sent the selected message.

TIP: The top right-hand corner of this display now indicates that you are viewing a subsetted list.

NOTE: To return to the full list of messages use F17=Subset, then F5=Refresh and press Enter.
