Step 4: (Optional) Modify an ISPF Selection Menu to Select Online Retrieval

If you want to add a selection code for the online retrieval feature to one of the ISPF selection menus, proceed with this step; otherwise, your detailed instructions for ISPF are complete.

To define your selection code, use this command:

PGM(SARSPF) PARM(high-level-database-name) NEWAPPL(SAR)

Use the value next to the NAME parameter on your Initialization Parameter Worksheet for PARM(high-level-database-name).

Note: Adding a selection code allows you to select the online retrieval feature in the same way you would select other ISPF options.

Panel Libraries

The names of the panel libraries vary from site to site and for the different releases of SPF ISPF. These panel libraries are allocated to the ISPPLIB DD statement under TSO. Be aware that some installations do not allow direct modifications of IBM panels and libraries. In this case, modified panels can be placed in user or site-specific libraries and concatenated ahead of the IBM libraries. Consult your ISPF administrator or systems administrator for procedures and guidelines for modifying ISPF panels.

Note: The selection menus shown in the following examples are part of the program product SPF ISPF, and are copyrighted by IBM.
