The Dataset List Actions allow users to perform a variety of operations on datasets directly from the Dataset List panel. After searching for datasets using a high-level qualifier (HLQ) or specific name patterns, ISPF provides options (known as actions) that can be used on the listed datasets or members. These actions include browse, edit, delete, rename, and many others.
