ISPF and PDF dialog service requests

Any statement in an edit macro beginning with ISPEXEC is assumed to be a request for an ISPF service. When such a statement is found, the TSO command processor does symbolic substitution. It then passes the command to the specified ISPF service to be processed. Some examples of service requests that might be in an edit macro are:

Table 1. Service requests in an edit macro
CLIST Statements	REXX Statements
`ISPEXEC SETMSG ... ISPEXEC VPUT ... ISPEXEC DISPLAY ... ISPEXEC EDIT ... ISPEXEC LMINIT ...`	`ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'SETMSG ...' 'VPUT ...' 'DISPLAY ...' 'EDIT ...' 'LMINIT ...'`
