This utility allows you to VIEW (i.e. ISPF EDIT if possible or ISPF BROWSE if
EDIT is not possible) a dataset without having to type in the dataset name.
For example, you are editing some JCL (since VIEW is an EDIT MACRO, it only
works in an edit session), and you need to see the sort cards for a sort step
but the cards are in a dataset. You simply place your cursor on the first
character of the dataset name and press a PF key that you have assigned the
value "VIEW" to. You will be taken into an edit session of that dataset if it
is editable (i.e. within a valid LCREL range), or a browse session if it is not
editable. When you "END" or "CANCEL" out of the session, you will be returned
to the original file that you were editing.
