SDSF REXX enhancements
Description: SDSF adds several enhancements to its support for REXX:
- A new RGEN command generates a REXX exec for the current panel and displays it with ISPF Edit. The exec includes ISFEXEC and ISFACT statements for accessing the panel, and special variables as appropriate, such as those for filtering.
- You can now invoke a REXX exec with the % action character, when SDSF is running under ISPF. This allows you to create a customized action character that performs a desired function against a row on a tabular panel.
- A new COMPACT option on the ISFACT, ISFEXEC, and ISFGET commands causes data for an entire row to be returned in a new SDSFROW stem variable, rather than in a separate stem variable for each column.
- When you access a panel with an action character, you can use new special variables that use a prefix to ensure that the variables are unique.
