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 NUMBER_OF_ROWS_FOR_TBADD
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.

The default is 512.
keyword RETRIEVE_COMMAND_STACK_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
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.

Select the Allow Edit highlighting check box to indicate that Edit highlighting should be available to all users and all applications. Applicable only to dialogs with panels enabled for highlighting.
The default is selected.
keyword ALLOW_EDIT_HIGHLIGHTING
Select the Editor to have highlighting enabled by default check box to support highlighting in EDIT and VIEW services when they are invoked directly by ISPF. Note: This check box is only used if Allow Edit Highlighting is selected.
This check box determines whether highlighting is supported in EDIT and VIEW when they are invoked directly by ISPF. Selected indicates YES. This affects the edit and view options of ISPF, and the EDIT and VIEW services when those services are called without a panel name. Select this check box to indicate that highlighting should be supported by default.
This check box is provided because edit highlighting increases the amount of CPU resources needed within an edit session. On heavily loaded systems, you may want to remove edit highlighting from regular ISPF edit sessions.
This check box, together with the Editor to have action bars present by default check box determine how the editor appears when it is invoked by ISPF, either interactively, or through an Edit service call that does not specify a user edit panel. It controls the availability of action bars and edit highlighting. Valid values are:
keyword DEFAULT_EDIT_DISPLAY

Type the value in kilobytes in the Maximum storage available to Edit UNDO command field.
The maximum size of storage in kilobytes for the edit UNDO command to keep a history of edit changes. A minimum value of 1024 is recommended. If the value is 0, then undo is only available from the edit recovery data set. If the value is 1 - 128, then 128 is used. For higher amounts, the value is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 64.
Use of storage for saving the record of changes provides better response time for individual users, but may have a slight detrimental effect on overall system performance.
The default is 0.

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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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.
