Export a Panel

1. Display the panel that you want to export; for example, CodeView.
2. On the COMMAND line, type EXPORT.
3. Press Enter.

   The Screen Export Information panel is displayed:

   CA MAT  --------- Screen Export for: CodeView                     --------
   COMMAND ===>                                                               
                                                                              
   ISPF library:                                                              
     Project ===>

   Other partitioned or sequential dataset:                                
         Dataset name  ===>                                                 
         Volume serial ===>          (If not cataloged)                    
                                                                             
   Export options:                                                          
           Disposition ===> REPLACE  (Replace or Append)                   
     Edit after export ===> NO       (Yes or No)                           
         Output format ===> CSV      (CSV or ASIS)                          
                  Rows ===> ALL      (All or Filtered)                      
                                                                             
   Press ENTER to export screen or END to exit with no export           
   

4. Type the name of the data set and member to which you want to export the panel in the ISPF library fields or Other partitioned or sequential data set field.
5. Specify the four parameters for Export options, as described next.

   Disposition

   Specify Replace if you want to replace an existing data set.

   Specify Append to add the data at the bottom of the existing data set or member.

   Edit after export

   • Specify NO to transfer the data to the specified data set and return to the panel. You may edit the data at a later time.
   • Specify YES to transfer to the data set and member in standard ISPF edit mode.

   Note that for performance reasons, CA Mainframe Application Tuner sets the ISPF RECOVERY parameter to OFF.

   Output format

   Specify ASIS if you want the format to appear as it does online.

   Specify CSV if you want the exported data to be in Comma Separated Value format. The CSV format is useful if you are downloading data to a spreadsheet.

   Note that if you have set your ISPF decimal delimiter variable (ZDEC) to a value other than a decimal point (.), a semicolon (;) is used instead of a comma (,) to separate the values.

   Rows

   Specify ALL if you want to ignore any filters that might be in effect and export all the data.

   Specify FILTERED to export the data as displayed on the panel.

   The amount of data exported is determined by the size of the data set to which you export, not by the size of your terminal display. For example, suppose you have an 80-byte terminal monitor and must scroll to the right to see all the fields on a particular panel.

   When you export the panel to a 121-character data set, CA Mainframe Application Tuner exports the full 121 characters worth of data, not just the 80 bytes currently visible.

   If you are planning to create a data set expressly to export panels, it is recommended that the data set be allocated with a logical record length of 589 characters, which will accommodate the widest panel.

6. Press End to end the edit session and save the data or type CANCEL to quit without saving.
