MVS

S390 OS

Features of ISPF ∗ Provides an On-line environment to interact with MVS. ∗ Provides Menu driven interface as opposed to TSO which provides line mode only. ∗ Provides facilities for Editing and browsing datasets ∗ ISPF uses panels to display and receive information and allows customization of your ISPF environment.

Features of ISPF (Contd…) ∗ Provides Program Function keys to avoid manual typing of commands. ∗ Provides for easy management of datasets through the Dataset menu. ∗ Provides extensive facilities for comparing datasets and searching for data. ∗ Provides facilities for executing programs in batch or foreground.

ISPF Features (Contd…) ∗ Provides for debugging of advanced user written ISPF applications. ∗ Provides Advanced facilities to create, delete and display VSAM datasets ∗ A Client Server Interface to allow GUI. ∗ Provides Action Bars and Pull-down menus for better productivity ∗ Provides Point and Shoot fields

ISPF (Contd…) ∗ Action Bars ➨ Perform actions without ending present action ∗ Pull-down menus ∗ Point and Shoot fields ∗ Selection Fields ➨ Single Period ➨ Single Underscore ➨ Underscored Field

Terminal Defaults ∗ Terminal Type (Hardware resource name) ∗ Number of PF Keys (12 or 24) ∗ Input Field Pad (Nulls or Blanks) ∗ Command Delimiter ∗ Screen Format (No of rows / columns)

LOG Data Set ∗ Contains all the commands issued during an ISPF session. ∗ It is a sequential data set. ∗ It may be preserved, or deleted at the end of the session. ∗ The data set can also be routed to a printer at the end of the ISPF session ∗ Name : XXXXX.SPFLOGn.LIST (where XXXXXX is user ID and n is a sequence no.)

List Data Set

∗ Any requests to print in the ISPF session is stored in this dataset ∗ At the end of the session, the dataset can be routed to a printer and can be retained or deleted ∗ Multiple print requests are appended to the list dataset ∗ Name : XXXXX.SPFn.LIST (XXXXX is the User ID and n is the sequence no.)

LOG and LIST Defaults ∗ Specifies Process Options and Printing Parameters for Log and List Data sets. ∗ Specifies the printer ID where it is to be printed.

ISPF Profile ∗ Contains saved information about the users ISPF session ∗ Loaded whenever the user logs on ∗ Name : <userid>.ISPF.ISPPROF (XXXXX is the User ID)

PF Keys ∗ Specifies the command for each PF key ∗ Assigns labels for each key that will appear on the terminal (optional)

Using Labels

∗ Go to the line where you want to set the label ∗ Type ‘.A’, ‘.B’ etc. in columns 1 to 6. The label will be set.

Browse ∗ Position the line for labeling on top of page ∗ Type ‘.A’ or ‘.B’ in command line. The label will be set.

Use ‘Locate’ command to locate the label later

Edit Profile ∗ Contains information specific to the dataset ∗ It is saved across ISPF sessions and loaded whenever the dataset is edited ∗ Defaults to the last qualifier of the dataset. ISPF recognizes .COBOL, .JCL etc. ∗ Profile information is stored in the User’s ISPF Profile dataset
