The Browse facility of the Option for ISPF retrieves the member you want to browse from the CA Panvalet library and writes it to a temporary data set named:

prefix.userid.PANVALET.ISPFOPTN.BROWSEn

Specify the TSO prefix qualifier only if it is not blank and it is not the same as the TSO user ID. The n in BROWSEn is set to the current ISPF logical screen number.

You can modify the data set qualifiers PANVALET, ISPFOPTN, and VOLSER for this data set. For more information, see Customizing the Option for ISPF in this chapter.

The attributes of the temporary data set are:

DISP=(NEW,DELETE,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),RETPD=0,UNIT=SYSDA,
DCB=(DSORG=PS,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=1600,RECFM=FB)

The Option for ISPF then invokes the ISPF/PDF Browse service using the temporary data set. The temporary data set is deleted when the Option for ISPF Browse ends.

Note: The BLKSIZE= parameter is controlled from the Option for ISPF panel, PSPIPOPT variable PBRB.
