ISPF/PDF Considerations

CA Auditor is an ISPF/PDF application program. Therefore, you can run CA Auditor in split‑screen mode like any other ISPF/PDF function. You can run CA Auditor opposite Browse, Edit, or other functions. You can also run two copies of CA Auditor at once, if you want.

All ISPF/PDF program function (PF) keys perform their usual function or have no effect on CA Auditor. All ISPF/PDF key settings are honored, including nonstandard settings. Check ISPF/PDF screen 0.3 for your own particular specifications. CA Auditor uses PF keys for help, split‑screen processing, return, and vertical scrolling. None of the displays use the horizontal scrolling usually assigned to PF10 and PF11. Nor does CA Auditor use the find‑and‑replace keys (normally PF5 and PF6).

When items are selected from one of the CA Auditor table displays, CA Auditor waits until you press Enter before it begins processing. This is different from some ISPF/PDF functions, which process selected items if you press Enter or one of the scroll PF keys. With CA Auditor, the scroll keys just scroll, and only Enter starts processing. CA Auditor supports the standard ISPF/PDF scroll control values: HALF, PAGE, CSR, and any numeric value you specify.

CA Auditor provides SORT, LOCATE, and BROWSE commands, which let you present columnar information in ways that you select. You can sort on most column headings, locate specific information provided in the displays, and browse the information (if appropriate for the display). For further information about how to use these commands, see the “Using ISPF/PDF” appendix or the Technical Reference.

CA Auditor also supports the command line. For example, you can pass any commands on to TSO by entering the following:

TSO command

There must be a space before the command.
