    Display Spooled File needs to support better F14/F15/F16 find options

    Search is NOT case-sensitive so we are often forced to guess the case. Also it would be very helpful to have F15=FindPrev since we are forever jumping to bottom of joblog and then paging up to find a previous Escape message.

    F15 to search backwards, vs. F16 to search forwards

    I can search/find forward in a spool file, for example, but it would be nice to be able to search/find backward as well. I see F14=Find options, F16=Find; looks like F15=Find prev would fit nicely on spool files and physical file searches Use Case...

    Add ORDER BY Creation Date/Time to WRKSPLF and add *USRPRF option and System Value for Same

    Our end users tend to keep SPOOLED files "forever" so the more days that pass, the longer their list of SPOOLED files becomes. I would be extremely helpful to provide a User Profile-based option for "SPOOLED File Sequencing" that is applied when U...
