Plan Your Recording Session

Before starting a recording session, you need plan what you want to record and how to record your choices.

To plan your recording session

1. Operate the session for a while.

   This helps you determine which tasks you want your automation EXEC to automate.

2. Select the EPI recording option and start recording, using the commands used in the EPI Recording Environment to interact with the session screen images.

   In response, the EPI inserts the captured screen data, along with comments, into the appropriate REXX routines.

3. After customizing the generic automation routines with screen data, you can use the ISPF editor to further tailor the routines and delete the automation routines you will not use.
4. You can call the ISPF editor to revise your new automation EXEC without leaving the EPI.

You have planned your session and have customized and tailored the routines.
