WRKJOB/DSPJOB OPTION(*OPNF) -- F5 should refresh the current screen instead of going back to the top.

When pressing F5 in
WRKJOB OPTION(*OPNF)
and
DSPJOB OPTION(*OPNF)
to update the open file information it always starts with the first page instead of the page you have scrolled to. Thus you have to scroll several pages till you come to the files you are observing. I would like it to stay on the current page and update the information there just like WRKACTJOB do when you press F5 to update the information there.


Use Case:

It makes it easier to observe what happens to a given file and saves time.

    This is a major annoyance that should have been fixed 20 years ago. I know it's been requested in the past, so it's just high time to deal with this.

    I would also like to add a "sort by" option (as seen in WRKACTJOB +F16) for by file, member, IO etc with the same list position maintained as the original request
