IPCS supplies dialog programs and a CLIST to generate and customize
the IPCS dialog.IPCS supplies the following dialog programs:
- Program
- Purpose
- BLSG
- Begins an IPCS dialog.
- BLSGLIBD
- An alternative way to begin an IPCS dialog. In addition to the
function provided by BLSG, BLSGLIBD allocates, through the ISPF LIBDEF
service, the following ddnames and associated data sets:
| Ddname |
Associated Data Set |
|---|
| ISPPLIB |
SYS1.SBLSPNL0 |
| ISPMLIB |
SYS1.SBLSMSG0 |
| ISPSLIB |
SYS1.SBLSKEL0 |
| ISPTLIB |
SYS1.SBLSTBL0 |
Note: IPCS supplies the BLSCLIBD CLIST to start an IPCS dialog.
BLSCLIBD performs the same function as the BLSGLIBD dialog program. IBM® recommends using the BLSCLIBD
CLIST rather than using the BLSGLIBD dialog program to begin an IPCS
dialog.
- BLSGSCMD
- Causes IPCS to process
an IPCS subcommand or CLIST.
- BLSLDISP
- Browses an IPCS
dump data set.
- BLSGDCDA
- Displays the list
of component data analysis routines found in either:
- The BLSCECT parmlib member
- In parmlib members embedded in the BLSCECT parmlib member
- BLSGDUIN
- Displays a list
of dumps found in the dump directory.
Dialog programs BLSG, BLSGLIBD, and BLSGSCMD may be used in a TSO/E
batch environment. All others require an interactive ISPF environment
where both full screen and line mode output are presented in real
time.
To customize the IPCS dialog, use:
- The
ISPF LIBDEF service
- ISPEXEC to use the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF)
SELECT service with the IPCS dialog programs
