Writing QMF Applications that Use ISPF

You can write applications that have their own user interfaces and bypass all the QMF panels. One way to write these applications is to use ISPF to help you create your own panels, and pass the user's entries to QMF as variables. You can also take advantage of other ISPF services to create or read QMF objects.

ISPF helps you provide an end-user interface on mainframe systems. You can use ISPF with the QMF callable interface or command interface.

This chapter outlines considerations for using the callable interface with ISPF. For general information about using the callable interface, see The Callable Interface. For information on using the command interface, see Using the Command Interface for Applications.
