zowe explorer enhancements request

[kzafiropoulos]

Dear Madam/Sir
I am creating the case here as there is no code4z or zowe category for new ideas on https://community.broadcom.com/ideation/allideas.

New requests:

1. Option for Sort members by creation date (Sort by Created)

2. Search for a string in all library members (similar to SRCHFOR of ISPF)

3. Find members in filtered datasets (similar to mem command of ISPF)
   Kind regards
   Konstantinos Zafiropoulos

Hey @kzafiropoulos

1. Great feature request 😋

   • I believe some work was completed around sorting of members in Zowe Explorer, so make sure to update to the latest version and let us know.

2. I believe a similar enhancement request was opened regarding the ISPF search functionality but we closed it due to inactivity.

   • Full text search across all the members, like ISPF SrchFor utility does #449
   • Please feel free to leave a comment on the issue above (that way we can reopen it) and we will consider it if/when it gets enough upvotes (👍🏽)

3. VScode provides an automatic search capability that gets triggered when you start typing the name of the node (in this case the member name). Here is a GIF that might help illustrate these capabilities.

   • Note: I make sure the focus is on the dataset, and typed the characters IEF

For future reference:

• Please fill out the template as much as possible 😋

Hi Konstantinos,

To help organize our issues and track them appropriately, I will part these out into individual issues and redirect you to existing ones if available:

1. An issue has recently been opened for this enhancement; please refer to Allow sorting of PDS members by date created #2565.
2. I have reopened Full text search across all the members, like ISPF SrchFor utility does #449 because this seems related; if you have any additional details as part of this request, feel free to add them to that issue.
3. I have created "Find member" functionality for filtered datasets #2630 to track this request; feel free to add to this issue if you would like to provide more info for this request.

Thank you for submitting these enhancement requests!
