ISPF Menu Option Protection

CA Top Secret allows an administrator to restrict the use of SPF Panel Options. This protection is only available for the IBM‑supplied SPF functions.

CA Top Secret considers each SPF panel option a TSO command.

For example, CA Top Secret is able to associate VTOC display (SPF option 3.7) with the command SPF37. Therefore, VTOC can be protected by restricting the use of the TSO command, SPF37, by specifying:

TSS ADDTO(profile) XCOMMAND(TSO,SPF37)

The format for specifying SPF and ISPF options is:

SPFn

n

The SPF menu number.

CA Top Secret protects the SPF panels listed in the following table, provided these panels invoke the same corresponding options. The panels and options in the table represent the standard IBM SPF panels and options.
