The entire course should take about 5-1/2 hours at the terminal, depending on how much background you have in ISPF and how deeply you want to go into the material Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced Features is intended primarily for end users, that is, non- data-processing people. The course uses a computer-based training (CBT) system to lead you through the more advanced features of ISPF and the data processing, concepts that are necessary to using ISPF. You simply sign on to a terminal and invoke the CBT system when you have time available for study. You progress at your own pace. This student workbook has been designed to help you understand and use ISPF. This section of the workbook is a summary of the course. Itis intended for review and as a reference. * BPE Interactive System Productivity Facility is a Licensed Program of International Business Machines Corporation, Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced Features2 Student Materials Use This Space For Notes, Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesMAJOR CHANGES ‘The following enhancements to ISPF are reflected in this cours ¢ The ISPF user interface has been enhanced to support IBM's Common User ‘Access (CUA) standard. All ISPF panels have been reformatted, and default function key assignments have changed. # Option 0, ISPF PARMS, has been replaced by Settings, which supports new parameters and reorganizes access to others. Option 1 is now View, a more powerful alternative to Browse. (Browse remains available through the BROWSE command.) ¢ ISPF/PDF is no longer a separate product from ISPF, Manuals in the ISPF library have been renamed to reflect this. ¢-_ISPF canbe used in a Client/Server (C/S) environment. In the next few sections is more detail on these as well as a quick run-down on still more Version 4 changes covered in the course ‘Common User Access (CUA) Interface Al ISPF panels have been reformatted to comply with this standard. The most noticeable changes are: @ Panels are in mixed-case. @ Anaction bar appears at the top of every panel. You can now navigate from panel to panel by selecting action bar choices. (The traditional ISPF navigation methods are still supported.) The action bar means that commands can be “nested"--you can invoke an ISPF function (such as a utility) from the action bar of another function (uch as Edit). The first function is suspended until you end the new one; then you can continue from where you left off. (Topic 2in Session 4 demonstrates this.) The CUA defaults for ISPF are: @ The Command line is at the bottom of the panel. Commands can be entered only on the Command (or Option) line. Function keys 1-12 have CUA-compliant assignments, not the traditional ISPF assignments. @ Because the action bar is at the top of each panel, the Home key takes you to the action bar. Topic 1 of Session 1 shows you how to reset these defaults for consistency with previous ISPF versions Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced Features4 Major Changes Function Key Assignments Keylists are active by default for most ISPF panels: ¢ Function key assignments can differ from panel to panel, ¢ The KEYS command takes you to a keylist dialog when itis invoked froma panel for which keylists aré active. Anew command, ZKEYS, can be used to access the global function key assignment panels when you are working on a panel for which keylists are active. Session 1, Topic 1 shows you how to disable keylists. Session 4, Topic 4 discusses keylists and the KEYS and ZKEYS commands. New Option 0: Settings The new Settings Option (Session 4, Topic 4) takes you to the main Settings panel from which you can: 4 Control CUA defaults 4 Set Terminal and Display characteristics. + Set GDDM graphie print parameters + Select the command delimiter and input field fil characters. 4+ Access other ISPF parameter settings from the action bar. (Itis no longer posse to aces Secondary parame sccenssuch as Log/List Del irom the ISPF Primary Option Menu by entering a two-part option like 0.2. ‘You must first request Settings and then use the action bar.) New Option 1: View ‘The new View option (Session 2, Topic 2) supports: All data sets except those with record format (RECFM) = U. (For RECFM-U data, continue to use Browse.) # All Edit commands except SAVE. You can use View to look at data and use Edit commands to change the data in View's temporary working copy. Then you can use the Edit/ View REPLACE or CREATE command to place the changed version in another data set. Since View's access is read-only, others can be viewing the same data in parallel with your session View is recommended in place of Browse. Throughout the course, references to Browse have been replaced by references to View.

(Trademarks of IBM and Microsoft, respectively.) + Panels developed with the ISPF Dialog Manager can be run from a client workstation without change. (Session 5, Topic 5) ¢ Option? of the ISPF Utilities Menu is now C/S Download, which allows ISPF executable code to be downloaded to a client workstation. Other Changes: Edit ¢ Anoptional Language-Sensitive Coloring facility makes it easier to edit data sets containing programming language statements. This is controlled through the HILITE dialog, accessed from the action bar or HILITE command. (Session 5, Topic 4) ¢ The Edit action bar permits you to nest other ISPF functions, includi Utility, within your Edit session. (Session 4, Topic 2) ¢ The Edit action bar also permits you to invoke a compiler or Dialog Test function from your Edit session. (Session 5, Topic 4) 4 ‘The Cancel /Move /Replaée Confirmation facility displays a confirmation window when you execute any of these (possibly destructive) commands from the Command line. (Session 5, Topic 1) Other Changes @ Wild-card characters can now be used anywhere in the Data Set List's Level name. (Session 3, Topic 3) ¢ The new TOP and BOTTOM commands can be used to scroll directly to the top or bottom of data set or member lists or Edit/View text. 4 You can now scroll data set and member lists after entering line commands. No line commands will be executed until you press Enter. (Session 1, Topic a 4 The Data Set List’s action bar allows you to change the list's view by selecting froma pulldown menu. (Session 3, Topic 3) Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesMajor Changes Additions to the Course In addition to discussion of these Version 4 changes, the course contains new material on: # System Dieplay and Search Facility (SDSF) product (ession 5, Topic 4) + Library Management Facility (LME) Gession 5, Topic 6) Software Configuration Library Manager (SCLM) (ession 5, Topic 6) Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesSESSION : PARTITIONED DATA SETS TOPIC TITLE T1 Allocating Partitioned Data Sets 12 Using Partitioned Data Sets TOTAL TIME FOR SESSION: TOPIC 1.1: Allocating Partitioned Data Sets 15 min 25 min 40 min ESTIMATED TIME ‘You generally use a partitioned data set when you want to keep several sequential data sets together.

Using ISPE/PDF: Advanced FeaturesSession 1: Partitioned Data Sets 3 Ifthere are too many member names to fit on the screen, you scroll up and down to view the remainder, UP (F7 or F19) DOWN (FB or F20) If you want to work with a subset of the full member list, you can create one by supplying a member-name pattern in the Member field. A pattern is a member name with one or more wild card characters. For example: Member ... APRY would build a list of all members whose names begin with APR. Member ... 889° would build a list of all members whose names have a Q in the third position. (5 stands for a single character. * stands for one or more characters.) Such lists might bbe a whole lot easier to use than the full member list. Member-name patterns can be used throughout ISPF. With them you can use five primary commands--LOCATE, RESET, SAVE, SELECT, SORT. We won't discuss these further except to say that you can SORT a member list using any of the statistics fields and that you can build one member list from another member list using a member-name pattern with the SELECT command.

If your installation does this, it means two things: # You usually don’t have to worry about compressing your partitioned data sets, # You should have a secondary allocation. Excess space is released when the data set is compressed, so you need a secondary amount in order to allow your data set to grow again after compressing. Using ISPFIPDF: Advanced Features18 Session 1: Partitioned Data Sets But if your installation doesn't compress data sets for you, then generally you shouldn't specify a secontiary amount because: ‘4 When you compress a data set with ISPE, excess space is not released. Your data set will grow to use al its secondary allocation before it needs compressing. Then it will stay that size. (There are ways to compress and release excess tracks in JCL, but not in ISPF.) ‘The challenge in compressing a partitioned data set lies in knowing when to do it (assuming your installation doesn't automatically do it for you).

Mr. John Q. Smith ‘The Ajax Company ‘Variable-length records prevent space from being wasted Me. Jonn Q. Sa: That is the difference between fixed-length and variable-length records. In ISPF, you specify a fixed-length record with an F and a variable-length record with a V: Record format... - F Record format | 11. V Now we come to blocking. Blocking concems how the records are transmitted and stored on an I/O (Input/Output) device, such as disk When records are physically stored on disk (aiid tape too), the system leaves a gap between the records so that it can tell where one record ends and the next one begins + + + [ Record 1 | | Record 2| | Record 3 | | Record 4 | ‘This inter-record gap can take up as much and even more space than the record itself. On a typical disk, the inter-record gap occupies 185 character positions; on tape it occupies 230 character positions. Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesSession 2: More on Data Sets 2B To regain some of the space used for inter-record gaps, you can "block" the records. ‘That is, you can put several records together in a block. Instead of this: + + + | Recordi | | Record 2 | | Record3 | | Record 4 | + ae You can block them like this: . | Recora i | Record 2 | Record 3 | Record 4 | You must specify blocked records by adding a B to the record type. Fixed-length blocked records, termed fixed blocked, are specified as: Record format... . FB Blocking can save a tremendous amount of data set storage space. Blocked records can also be read and written much faster than unblocked records. This can significantly reduce run costs. It is far more efficient for the computer to transmit (read or write) a group of records in a block than to transmit them one at a time, For fixed blocked records, the block size must be an even multiple of the record. length. That is, the record length times some integer must equal the block size. Itis more complicated for variable-length records. Variable-length records: + Record length must be at least as long as the longest record plus 4, 4 Block size must be at least as long as the longest record plus 8, The actual record length is stored within those extra 4 and 8 bytes, By storing the record length in each record, the operating system always knows how long each record is. Of course, the block size can also be inefficient if it is too big. ‘The basic unit of storage on disk is a track. A track is analogous to the groove of a phonograph record, except a track is circular whereas a record groave is continuous. A better analogy of disk tracks might be the concentric rings of a tree stump. Ona typical disk unit, the IBM 3380, a track ean contain 47,476 bytes. If you have 80-byte records and choose a block size of 24,000 bytes, only one block will fit on a track. | 24,000-byte be 23,476 wasted bytes Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced Features4 Session 2: More on Data Sets ‘The following simple rules of thumb should solve most of your blocking problems, assuming your installation doesn't have a stéridard. Choose a block size of 6233 bytes or as close as you can get under this. Itis big enough to be efficient but not {60 big. Italso fits nicely onto the tracks of most models of disk units.

Text records: Record format... + VB Record length | +. + 255 Block size... +. 6233 TOPIC 2.2: Estimating Disk Space Let's review. To allocate space in blocks, you must know how many records (lines) you need to store. Let's assume you are going to store 10,000 records. Then you need to know how many records are ina block. This is the BLKSIZE/LRECL for RECEM of FB; it is BLKSIZE /average-record-length for RECFM of VB. Let's assume there are 100 records in a block, ‘The formula for the number of blocks is: # blocks = number-of-records /number-of-records-per-block, How would you solve this formula for the record and amounts given above? That is, how many blocks do we need? The answer is: 10000/100 = 100 Weill need to allocate 100 blocks of primary space. The problem with allocating space in blocks is that you may not know how many. records you ae going to need to store, It's like guessing the lengthof a book, You can tell ata glance whether a book is big or small, but you would probably have no idea how many lines there are in it Now let's review how we could determine how many tracks our data set would take on a 3380 disk. Assume we have 10,000 records 100 bytes long blocked 64 records per block. ‘A 3380 track is 47,476 bytes long with an inter-block gap of 523 bytes. How many blocks would fiton a track? We arrive at 6 blocks per track with this formula 47,476 | (523 + (100 * 64) = 6.86, truncated to 6 ‘Actually, this formula is only approximate. The real formula is even more complicated. Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesSession 2: More on Data Sets 25 Here is how the records and blocks are stored on a track: First, a block contains 64 records: | 100-per-record + 64 = 6400 bytes 64 records/block ‘Then, with an inter-record gap of 523 bytes, 6 blocks fit on a track: {6400 bytes|523 bytes|6400 bytes |523 bytes] [6400 bytes|523 bytos|5938 bytes! Calculating the blocks per track is only the first step. The next step is to calculate the number of tracks needed. (There are 6 blocks per track, 64 records per block, and 10,000 records.) The formula is, then’ 10,000 /(64°6) = 26.04, rounded up to 27 ‘You round up because the system allocates in units of full tracks. If you truncate, the remainder of your data set cannot be stored, It's a lot easier to calculate the necessary blocks than to calculate the number of tracks required. And, of course, track size is device-dependent. If we'd allocated ‘our data set on a 3350 disk rather than a 3380 disk, the data set would have required 79 tracks rather than the 27 tracks we calculated for the 3380. After you gain some experience, you will get a feel for how many tracks it takes to store your data sets You can use the ISPF utility to examine your data sets and see how many tracks are allocated and how many are used. If you don't know how many records you have, this is the most painless method. It's like getting used to estimating the number of pages in a book--without having to guess the number of li And the reason you usually estimate in units of tracks is that the statistics your installation may provide you about your data sets are usually given in units of tracks, Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced Features26 Session 2: More on Data Sets Use This Space For Notes Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesSESSION 3: THE UTILITIES TOPIC TITLE ‘The Data Set Utility Moving and Copying Data Sets ‘The Data Set List Utility Other Utility Options TOPIC 3.1; The Data Set Utility ‘The Data Set Utility ean do several things besides allocating data sets.

For example: Command SORT 10 20 also sorts the lines in ascending order using the data in colurans 10 through 20. ‘The general form of the SORT command is: SORT A or D first-column last-colum, ‘The SORT command is very powerful and flexible. You can also limit the lines to be sorted in several ways. By including or excluding lines: SORT X A or D start-colum end-columa (Sorts only the lines excluded by the X line command or EXCLUDE command.) SORT NX A or D start-column end-colum, (The opposite.

Data Types You should use the data type in the data set name to specify the programming, Janguage, such as: cozon PLT LOAD SCRIP? FORTRAN ASH. cnr ALGOL Since ISPF keeps a separate profile for each data type, all your margins, tabs, CAPS ON, and so forth can be set Once for a data type and ISPF will remember them Line Numbers ISPF lets you store line numbers as part of the data itself. The line numbers are stored in: columns 1-6 for the data type COBOL. columns 73-80 for fixed-length records (except COBOL). columns 1-8 for variable-length records (except COBOL} Storing line numbers in the data was originally done to protect card data. If you dropped a card tray containing a few thousand cards, you could dump them into a card sorter to get them back inthe correct sequence Cards, card sorters, and the danger of dropping card decks have long since disappeared. Line numbers today are mainly used for controlling changes and for obtaining a listing with line numbers. ISPF provides several commands for controlling line numbers: NUM ON ~ Tums line numbering on. Numbers stored in columns 1.8 or 73-80 unless data type is COBOL. Then, numbers stored in columns 1-6. NUM ON COBOL - Turns line numbering on, Numbers stored in columns 1-6 regardless of data type, When you edit an existing data set with NUM ON, ISPF numbers the lines if they aren't already numbered. Ifthe lines are numbered, ISPF checks the sequence and renumbers lines that are ether out of sequence or unnumbered. When you edit an existing data set, ISPF automatically tums the NUM ON if the data contains line numbers. ISPF numbers lines: Starting at 100 and incrementing by 100, # Inserted lines are numbered by 10 or Las necessary. The line numbers displayed by ISPF on the left of an Edit panel are separate from the line numbers in the data, although they are usually the same. You cansee the actual line numbers by scrolling left or right.

TOPIC 5.5: Dialog Manager “The Dialog Manager is an extensive tool. It takes roughly the same effort to learn it as it does to learn ISPF. Hence, we'll only touch briefly on ithere. ‘The Dialog Manager manages a dialog. A "dialog" is an application that runs under ISPF. Itis composed of: 4 Panels to let the users select what they want and also enter data, 4 Calls to application programs written in languages such as COBOL, FORTRAN, or PL/I, and in TSO CLIST or REXX. Dialog Manager functions. Let’ illustrate a dialog with a single example of a dialog we'll assume we have already created. You request a dialog by entering one of the following: ISPSTART CND(cList-or-procedure-name) TSPSTART PANEL(panel-name) ISPSTART PGM(progran-name) Suppose our application begins with a panel named POP. You must request it. (These are TSO commands, so you must enter them outside of ISPF at the Ready prompt) ‘You would have had to previously define this panel to ISPF. (You use the ISPF editor to make up such panels and store them.) Using ISP/PDF: Advanced Features2 Session 5: More ISPF Usage You can enter data on a panel and then take action based on the data entered. Here, the action you would have specified through Dialog Manager commands would be to invoke another panel. option 1 ADD/CHANGE/DELETE A COUNTRY 3._PRINT COUNFRTES ‘You can write dialogs that invoke the ISPF editor, utilities, and other functions.

They are the Library Management Facility (Option 8) and the Software Configuration Library Manager (SCLM). One important difference between LMF and SCLM is that SCLM provides its own tools for working with the libraries it controls. If you are part of an SCLM project, you will usually go directly to the SCLM Primary Menu to begin work. To edit data in an SCLM-controlled library, you must use the SCLM Editor, not the "regular” ISPF Editor. If you are part ofan LMF project, on the other hand, you will use the "regular" ISPF facilities-such as Edit and View. You request the LMF facilities only if you have administrative responsibilities for the project. Both LMF and SCLM are designed to bring order to projects that involve: ‘¢ Several different people or groups working with partitioned data sets (libraries) that contain data that is related. 4 Data objects, such as program modules, which can exist in multiple versions. A defined hierarchy of versions so that an object can be promoted from one version level to the next. Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesSession 5: More ISPF Usage 93 Here is a project structure familiar to programmers: PROJ999.PROD.COBOL | (production version of source code) | 4} PROJ999.APPLTEST.COBOL ! (application test version of source code) | PROJ999.DEVGR1 .COBOL | \ PROJ999 .DEVGR2 . COBOL 1 | (pevelopment group 1's || (Development group 2's | | “unit test" version) | | “unit test" version) 1 ‘A significant difference between LMF and SCLM is that SCLM is designed Speaifcally for application development projects. SCLM-controlled libraries must Contain application components like source, object, or load modules. LME, on the other hand, can control project libraries no matter what kind of “things the libraries contain. All thatis required is that they are part of a project for which 2 hierarchy of libraries can be defined. LMF ‘The following terms and concepts are important to understanding LMF: ¢ A projectis defined as an LMF-controlled project by placing the Project name in the LMF control file. This means that all libraries in a controlled project have the same project name (high-level data set name qualifier) ¢ An LME-controlled group is also defined in an LMF control file by specifying the Group name and the group's level within the hierarchy. This theans that all libraries in a controlled group have the same Project and. Group names (first- and second-level data set name qualifiers), and are at the same level in the hierarchy. ¢ A library is an LMF-controlled library if itis part of a controlled group. ‘This means that to be controlled, a library's Project and Group names must be registered with LMF. LME controls these three operations ¢ Promotion: Copying a member from one level of the hierarchy to a higher level, or from a private library into the hierarchy. # Access: Accessing a library in a specific way: for example, read-only access is controlled separately from edit access. ¢ Locking: Preventing a member from being accessed by others. ‘The ISPF Move /Copy Utility can be used to perform all of these operations. Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced Features4 Session 5: More ISPF Usage Note these LMF-related fields on the Move /Copy panel shown below: + Option L (or LP) performs LMF locking 4 Option F (or PP) promotes a member to the next higher level in the hierarchy. 4 ‘The Project and Group name fields allow ISPF to recognize a library as LMF-controlled. The “From* Data Set named here is a controlled library, because Group DEVGRPI has been defined to LMF as a group within the PROJ999 project hierarchy.

The concatenated Group names identify LMF- controlled libraries (PROJ999.DEVGRPI.COBOL), where the member to be edited is, located. Here's what happens Edit recognizes that PROJ99 is a controlled project, because the PROJ999 name appears in the LMF control file. Edit looks in the controlled library PROJ999.DEVGRP1.COBOL for the member to be edited. (Assume that the member is found there.) 4 Edit copies the member from the controlled library into the private library PROJ999.PRIVLIB.COBOL. The Edit session can now begin in PROJ999.PRIVLIB.COBOL. When you edit a member from a controlled library, you can edit-lock the member until you are ready to promote your working copy back into the project hierarchy. Set the LMF Lock Option of the Edit Entry Panel fo Yes. Using ISPF/PDF: Advanced FeaturesSession 5: More ISPF Usage 95 scLM SCLM stands for the Software Configuration and Library Manager: Software Configuration refers to the process of constructing a software application by integrating all its component parts. 4 Library Management refers to the process of administering the libraries that contain application components All components of an SCLM-controlled project reside in libraries with the same high-level (Project) name. In SCLM terminology, the set of all the libraries involved ina project makes up the project database. Like LMF, SCLM uses the term group to refer to libraries within a project database that have the same Project name and Group name. When you work with SCLM-controlled libraries, you use Options from the SCLM Main Menu, shown here.

Development Libraries are the only place in which components can be edited. ‘The concatenated Group names identify libraries to be searched for the component (member) to be edited. ‘The SCLM shell automatically takes care of: ‘¢ Searching for the member to be edited in the concatenated groups. Copying the member to be edited into the development library specified by the Project and Group name. (This process is called "automatic draw down.") ¢ Locking the member to be edited. (The lock is taken in the library from. which the member has just been copied.) # Collecting software statistics, such as source statement counts, after the Edit is complete.
