Documentation


 $SCAN is designed to work with the ISPF 3.4 dataset list screen.  You type
 $SCAN (or $S) next to a dataset name on the 3.4 dataset list screen and press
 ENTER.  $SCAN then invokes the ISPF string search facility (ISPF option 3.14)
 and prepopulates the dataset name field(s) with the dataset found on the 3.4
 screen.  When you "END" (PF3/PF15) out of the string search facility, you will
 be returned to where you were on the 3.4 screen.
