Creating new Object Lists
To create a new Object List, do either of the following steps:
- In the command line, enter NEW followed by the name of
the new Object List and an optional model Object List using the following
syntax:
>>-NEW--newname--+-----------------------------------+--------->< '-MODEL--+-modelname--------------+-' '-datasetname(modelname)-'
- Select File from the action bar, then choose New.
If you did not specify a model name in the NEW command, a pop-up dialog window is displayed as shown in Figure 1. If you specified a model name, the New Object List panel is bypassed.

_ Initialize with a sample object list
This panel allows you to create a new Object List. You must give the new Object List a name.
The new Object List can be modeled on one of your existing Object Lists or it can be initialized by selecting a sample object list. If you do not specify a model name or a sample, the object list will be initialized empty.
- Name
- The name of the new Object List. A 1-8 character name in ISPF member name format. The name must be unique within the Object Lists data set.
- Model
- You can specify the name of an existing Object List as a model so that your new Object List is initialized with its contents. If the model is in the current Object Lists data set, specify just the name of the Object List. If it is in another data set, specify both the data set name and the Object List name in the format datasetname(modelname).
- Initialize with a sample object list
- Enter / to select one of the sample object lists included with CICS PA.
When you have specified the required details, press Enter to create the Object List. You can change or delete any of the values that are copied from the model or sample and add new values.
