About ISPF Support

The ISPF support of CA Disk provides an interface from the IBM System Productivity Facility, Dialog Management Services, to the CA Disk product. CA Disk uses ISPF dialog management service panels to give you an easy-to-use interface in an interactive environment.

This support can be used with the ISPF program product (5665-319) and subsequent releases.

The CA Disk dialog management functions either guide the user through the process of generating JCL to execute batch CA Disk facilities, or interface directly to the CA Disk foreground applications. No JCL is involved for foreground processing functions, as all requests are performed immediately in the TSO user's region.

All CA Disk dialog manager panels have associated HELP text. If at any time you need information on how to proceed or what to do, the <HELP> PF key can be pressed. The HELP information can be browsed until you are ready to continue. The <END> key will return you to the panel originally being processed.
