Description
The item-ID defaults to %user-ID (percent sign concatenated with the user-ID) when not specified with the list process commands, such as save-list or edit-list.
The pointer-file is a d type file that resides on the dm or sysprog account. Separate pointer-files can be created on any account. When using a pointer-file on any account other than dm, the commands associated with the file need to be modified to point to the correct account.
Save lists can be saved in any file.
