ISRFIND, ISRDDN and DDLIST are 3 of the most useful utilities under ISPF. ISRFIND and ISRDDN can be invoked as TSO commands, i.e., by issuing TSO ISRFIND and TSO ISRDDN on the ISPF command line. DDLIST on the other hand is an ISPF command table entry that invokes ISRDDN. This […]
The following table describes some of the most used ISPF commands that may come very handy when editing datasets or members the mainframe: Edit Primary Commands CHANGE string1 string2 Changes first occurrence of string1 with string2. CHANGE can also be used as C CHANGE ALL string1 string2 Changes all occurrences […]
Let’s imagine you have the following JCL and you need to change it to accommodate your needs: //COMPRESS JOB (),’COMPRESS’,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,CLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1), // MSGCLASS=X //************************************************** //* THIS IS AN EXAMPLE – THIS LINE WILL BE DELETED //************************************************** //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //INPUT DD DSNAME=SYS1.EXAMPLE.FILE,DISP=SHR //OUTPUT DD DSNAME=SYS1.EXAMPLE.FILE,DISP=SHR //SYSIN DD * […]
