The default is selected.



Disable all ENQ displays

Select the Disable all ENQ displays check box to indicate that users should not be able to see who has existing data set ENQs when they press the help key or when they use the ISRDDN utility.

Panel ISPYFPA is formatted with the most frequently used fields at the top of the panel.

Panel ISPYFPB is similar to panel ISPYFPA, but it has a selection field that allows the user to select a function: panel, command, program, or request. Unlike the panels ISPYFP or ISPYFPA, on panel ISPYFPB the panel, command, program, or request fields can all contain values.

Valid options are:

The default is panel ISPYFP.

keyword USE_ALTERNATE_DIALOG_TEST_PANEL



Default Primary Panel

Number of rows for TBADD

Type the number of rows in the Number of rows for TBADD field.

This value is number of rows to be used in calculating the amount of storage required when a TBADD service is invoked. The value can be an integer from 1 to 1000.

The default is 1.

keyword NUMBER_OF_ROWS_FOR_TBADD



Retrieve command stack size

Type the stack size number in the Retrieve command stack size field.

The size, in bytes, of the command stack that RETRIEVE command uses. ISPF uses the command stack to hold commands (stripped of leading and trailing blanks) and some ISPF internal information. A stack of 512 bytes holds approximately 20 commands with a length of 10 characters each. The value can be an integer from 312 to 4096.

The default is 512.

keyword RETRIEVE_COMMAND_STACK_SIZE



TPUT buffer block size

Type the block size number in the TPUT buffer block size field.

The TPUT buffer block size can range from 512 - 32767. If defined as 0, ISPF will use it's own calculations to determine the TPUT buffer size. If defined within the range 512 - 32767, ISPF will use the defined value as the buffer block size.

The default is 0.

keyword TPUT_BUFFER_BLOCKSIZE



Year 2000 sliding rule

Type the two digit cutoff value in the Year 200 sliding rule field.

This cutoff value is used by ISPF to determine whether a 2 character year date specified to ISPF should be considered a 19xx or 20xx date. Values less than or equal to this date will be considered 20xx, values greater will be considered 19xx. The value can be an absolute number or a number preceded by a minus sign to indicate the cutoff should be the specified number of years prior to the current year.

For example, specifying 72 indicates that any 2 character year less than or equal to 72 should be considered 20xx, anything greater should be 19xx. Specifying -40 (assuming the current year is 1999) will yield a cutoff value of 59. Valid values range from -99 to 99.

The default is 65.

    ISPF Configuration Table load module

    This option enables you to convert the keyword file into a load module for ISPF to use to determine the session settings. You can create two separate load modules: the configuration table load module (default name ISPCFIGU), and the VSAM configuration load module (default name ISPCFIGV). The configuration table load module is always created, the VSAM configuration load module is only created if one of the VSAM restriction keywords is used in your file.

    SMP/E USERMOD

    This option enables you to convert the keyword file into load modules (a configuration table load module and a VSAM configuration load module), and to package the keyword file source code and the generated load modules in an SMP/E USERMOD. The configuration table load module is always created. The VSAM configuration load module is only created if one of the VSAM restriction keywords is used in your keyword file. The default names of ISPCFIGU (for the configuration load module) and ISPCFIGV (for the VSAM configuration load module) are always used when the load modules are packaged in an SMP/E USERMOD.

    Build SMP/E USERMOD

    This option enables you to convert the keyword file into load modules, (a configuration table load module and a and a VSAM configuration load module) and to package the keyword file source code and the generated load modules in an SMP/E USERMOD. The configuration table load module is always created. The VSAM configuration load module is only created if one of the VSAM restriction keywords is used in your keyword file. The default name for the configuration table load module is ISPCFIGU; the default name for the VSAM configuration load module is ISPCFIGV.

    1. Type the name of the pre-existing SMP/E data set into which the SMP/E USERMOD is to be stored.
    2. Type the 7 character SYSMOD Identifier for the SMP/E USERMOD.
    3. Type the FMID for the FMID operand of the SMP/E USERMOD.
    4. Type the DDDEF name for the SYSLIB for keyword file in the SMP/E USERMOD.
    5. Type the DDDEF name for the SYSLIB for load modules in the SMP/E USERMOD.
    6. Type the DDDEF name for the DISTLIB for keyword file in the SMP/E USERMOD.
    7. Type the DDDEF name for the DISTLIB for load modules in the SMP/E USERMOD.
    8. If needed, Type the 7 character name(s) of Prior USERMODs to supersede (SUP).

The data set in the DDDEF entry must have the record format U and LRECL 0 with a block size equal to or greater than 6144.


    Prior USERMODs to supersede (SUP)

    If needed, Type the 7 character name(s) of Prior USERMODs to supersede (SUP).

    There are four optional fields for the 7 character name(s) of a previous USERMOD(s) to be superseded by this SMP/E USERMOD. The previous USERMODs (up to four) are included in the SUP operand of the SMP/E USERMOD. The four fields must be filled from left to right.



    Build configuration table load module

    The Build Configuration Table load module option will allow you to specify ISPF configuration settings, build a keyword file and convert it into a load module for ISPF to use to determine the settings. The Output data set field is to contain the name of the partitioned data set into which the configuration load module will be stored. Two load modules may be created:

    • The Configuration member: (default name ISPCFIGU)
    • The VSAM member: (default name ISPCFIGV)

    The configuration table load module is always created, the VSAM configuration module is only created if one of the VSAM restriction keywords is used.

    The load modules created must be named ISPCFIGU and ISPCFIGV for ISPF to recognize them, but they may be created with any name initially to facilitate creation of multiple configurations. If the load modules are created with names other than ISPCFIGU and ISPCFIGV they will need to be renamed when they are moved into the ISPF execution data sets.

    1. Type the name of the partitioned data set in the Output data set field.
    2. Type the member name in the Configuration member field or use the default name, ISPCFIGU.
    3. Type the member name in the VSAM member or use the default name, ISPCFIGV.

    ISPF Sitewide Defaults Version Level

    You have selected at least one of the site-wide or apply to all users fields with the customization dialogs. You must increment the Sitewide defaults version level field below to enable these fields that you have selected. Increment only the last three digits. ISPF is always shipped with the value set to 43000. This value does not change with new versions or releases of ISPF.

    1. Increment the Sitewide Defaults Version Level field. (only increment the last three digits).

    Sitewide Defaults Version Level

    Increment the Sitewide Defaults Version Level field. (only increment the last three digits).

    This field indicates the modification level of the current site-wide defaults values. This field is set to 43000 initially by ISPF and does not change with new versions of ISPF. Each time you modify any of the site-wide or apply to all users fields, increment this value by 1. Increment only the last three digits. For example, the first time you change any defaults you should set this field to 43001. This value is then saved in the ISPF system profile table.

    When ISPF is initialized it checks the value saved in the system profile against the value in this field. If the value of this field is greater than the value in the system profile, ISPF will use the site-wide values you specified in the customization dialogs. You must increment the Sitewide Defaults Version Level field every time you build a new ISPF Configuration table with new site-wide or apply to all users defaults. If you fail to increment the Sitewide Defaults Version Level field for your new default values, the new default values will not be picked up by ISPF.
