Cross posting to IBMMAIN and ISPF I always come across these Gems.
I was running a SRCHFOR string command in 3.4 and it did not find my string. I then went to the PDS where I knew it was at, and SRCHFOR on the command line found the entry. So I learned that if you have added additional searches in the pop up panel for SRCHFOR it is not forgotten but remembered forever. And that is what prevented my SRCHFOR on the main 3.4 DSLIST panel from finding my string. I have opened an RFE to improve this process to expand on the long message, have the SRCHFOR string override anything in the pop-up panel. Put out a different short message to indicate there were more parms being used than you thought. Or automatically bring up the SRCHDSL.LIST dataset to review. As well as provide a new entry on the 3.4 options - Let me always get the pop-up panel in SRCHFOR or not.
