Edit Relationships

The Edit facility of Option for ISPF first allocates a temporary data set named:

prefix.userid.PANVALET.ISPFOPTN.EDITnnn

Specify the TSO prefix qualifier only if it is not blank and it is not the same as the TSO user ID. The nnn in EDITnnn represents a unique Option for ISPF Edit session 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 temporary data set is allocated with zero tracks of data space. The data set exists only in the VTOC and has the following attributes:

DISP=(NEW,DELETE,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,(0)),RETPD=0,UNIT=SYSDA,
DCB=(DSORG=PS,LRECL=89,BLKSIZE=89,RECFM=F)

The temporary data set is deleted and the VTOC entry freed during the Option for ISPF Edit initialization (before the member is displayed). This dummy data set is necessary only to invoke ISPF/PDF Edit.
