ISPF Command Summary

Because OPSVIEW is an ISPF-based application, you need to be familiar with ISPF commands to take full advantage of it.

Here are some of the more useful ISPF commands you can use in OPSVIEW:

DOWN

Scrolls a display downward.

END

Terminates the current display and return to the previous panel. If you are using OPSVIEW option T (Tutorial), entering END terminates the tutorial.

HELP

Accesses the CA OPS/MVS online tutorial; HELP is context-sensitive. For example, if you are in OPSVIEW option 6 and you issue the HELP command, you will get help for option 6, which is the MVS/JES command processor.

JUMP

Jumps from one option to another without backing up through menus. To jump to an option enter an equal sign (=), followed by an option specification, into any field in OPSVIEW that is preceded by at least two equal signs followed by an arrow (= = >). For example, if you enter =3.2 on the Command line of the OPSVIEW General Settings panel, OPSVIEW takes you to suboption 2 of primary option 3.

KEYS

Displays the current PF key settings and lets you modify them if necessary.

LEFT

Scrolls a display to the left.

LIST

Allocates, prints, or lists the ISPF data set. This can be used with the P and PP line commands to print OPSLOG Browse data. For more information, see the chapter “OPSVIEW OPSLOG Option.”

PRINT

Records the current screen image in the ISPF list file and prints it.

RETRIEVE

Retrieves previously entered commands and displays them on the command line.

RETURN

Returns to the OPSVIEW Primary Options Menu.

RIGHT

Scrolls a display to the right.

SPLIT

Splits the display into two logical displays. The split occurs at the line on which the cursor is positioned.

UP

Scrolls a display upward.
