Developing ISPF Dialogs to Improve Productivity and for Fun

By Lionel Dyck posted 06/08/26 01:24 PM

  

If you have used z/OS for any length of time, then you know that there are many tasks that must be accomplished using the z/OS environment (batch, TSO, or ISPF). Fortunately, the vast majority of those can be simplified using an ISPF dialog, and writing an ISPF dialog is very easy once you've learned a few simple techniques.

To help check out this open-source project located at https://github.com/lbdyck/ispftips or in file 990 on https://cbttape.org. This project includes sample code that you can "borrow" along with documentation in docx, epub, and pdf formats.

The project also includes a simple-to-use ISPF dialog that you can use to experiment with the sample code.

As an old TV cereal commercial once said: Try It - You'll like it.
