Deliver VSE

Issue/Introduction

On large listings, (like 5210 pages), I have to hit PF9 up to 53 times, which is rather slow and tedious, and the information displayed is also almost instantaneous on our new CPU!  It would be helpful to bump the 100 page default up 10X, such as up to a 1000 pages or so.  

Is this something easily altered?

 

Environment

Component : Deliver Output Management for VSE

Resolution

Page 4-36 of the System Guide shows the default is 100.

4-36 Systems Guide 
Setting Search Limit for Browse

You use Deliver's Security Administration panel to set the number of pages that
Deliver reads at a time when it performs a search during browse.
Setting a browse limit prevents any one user from tying up the online interface
partition with a long search.
To set the search limit for browsing, follow these steps:

Step Action
1 Access the Security Administration panel by selecting option S (List/edit user
security) from the Deliver. In the Userid field, specify a user ID. (It does not
matter which user ID you specify, as the search limit change will affect the entire
system; however, you must make the change from within a particular user ID.)

2 Enter PAGESCAN nnnnn on the command line. For nnnnn, specify a number
from 1 to 99,999 (the system default is 10,000). This is the number of pages that a
user in the system can search at one time when issuing a search command from
within browse.

If, while browsing a report, a user issues a search, Deliver searches through
nnnnn pages of the report. If the search term is not found after nnnnn pages,
Deliver temporarily interrupts the search and presents the following message:
Not found through page nnnnn, press PF9 to search further
The user may then press PF9 to search through another nnnnn pages, or take any
other action to discontinue the search.
