I've used FILTER for years for panels like job display. I had no idea it worked for operlog. The entire mainframe staff here is blown away. Thanks!

In SDSF is the FILTER function on the top menu. If you have specific messages or jobs or other you want rather than all lines in a particular time frame, you can use that to cut down on the amount of data. All is detailed in the TOC for SDSF. I find that when I am in a specific function in SDSF, if I enter an INVALID command, then use the HELP Key (PF1) I will be presented with the functions available for that panel. That way I do not need to know what they are and easier to find the details.
