ISPF Panels Control of JCLNeat

All of the methods explained previously in this chapter for batch submission of JCLNeat controls can be accomplished by using ISPF panels. The following subsections explain each of the panels that can be displayed.

Field level HELP is available on each of the panels described in this section so the fields will not be described here. This help is incorporated into the HELP/Tutorial function so that help exists at three levels:

System level

The existing Tutorial/HELP, activated from within the other levels.

Panel level

A pop-up box explaining the panel involved, activated by any field which does not have field level HELP support.

Field level

A pop-up box containing an explanation of the field selected by the cursor. All of the panels described in this section have field level help available.

When activated, the pop-up features fades the current panel to a dull blue but still remains readable, and the new information overlays the current panel.

There are standard format conventions that are consistent throughout all the panels:

Commands:
CANcel

End current panel session, with no action taken

NEXT

Process current panel, go to next panel

PREVious

Process current panel, go to previous panel

PF keys:
Enter

Process current panel, stay on current panel

End

Process current panel, go to next panel

All key functions are set by the individual user in their session profile. All panels have the current date and time at the upper right, followed by the current session's user ID.
