Step 5. Set Up the Online Interface (Optional)

An online ISPF interface lets you view information in the SCDS. For more information about this interface, see the User Guide.

To set up the online interface, customize CASFEXEC(SMFDOL) so that the 'prefix' variable points to the high-level qualifier of the target libraries.

To bring up the online interface, run the SMFDOL EXEC under ISPF. The EXEC will allocate the required libraries automatically.

We recommend that you copy the SMFDOL EXEC to any convenient library in your SYSPROC or SYSEXEC TSO allocation. That way, you can start it as a TSO command from any ISPF panel. You can also modify the ISPF primary panel (or some other menu panel) by assigning 'CMD(%SMFDOL)' to the &ZSEL. variable in the )PROC section.
