Step 3: (Optional) Modify an ISPF Selection Menu to Select Online Retrieval

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

Note: If you add a selection code, you are able to select the online retrieval feature in the same way you select other ISPF options.

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

Use the values in this table for either SPF or ISPF.

Type

Selection Code is Defined As

ISPF (all versions)

'PGM(EC0XMSPF) PARM(high-level-database-name) NEWAPPL(RMO)'

SPF

'PGM(EC0XMSPF) PARM(high-level-database-name)'

Panel Libraries

The names of the panel libraries vary from site to site and for the different releases of 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, you can place the modified panels in user or site-specific libraries and concatenate them ahead of the IBM libraries.

Ask your system administrator for the specific ISPF panel library that applies to your site and contains the panel ISR@PRIM.

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